LIVE ·2022 Grants ChallengeBuilding Peaceful and Equitable Communities
The funds would be used to help launch and support PeacePlayers Los Angeles Leadership & Development Program (LDP) girls ages 13-18 in Watts and South Los Angeles to help empower Black and Latinx youth to challenge the status quo of inequity through activism and access to economic advancement. As a result, PeacePlayers’ youth will contribute to a more equitable society where people can succeed regardless of their race, zip code, color or family income level.
