Info: At College Track, we firmly believe that a bachelor’s degree remains the best predictor of economic mobility, civic engagement, lifelong wellness, and self-agency. By serving students from low-income communities who will become the first in their family to graduate from college, we fulfill the promise of higher education for generations to come. Our work is rooted at the intersection of educational equity and racial justice, setting the stage for our students to thrive in careers where people of color have been historically underrepresented.

Info: A non-profit arm of Alta dedicated to empowering communities through food. Using the original LocoL Watts space as our home base, we will expand LocoL’s mission to include three focus areas: vocational training, address food insecurity in the community, and create opportunities for entrepreneurs.

Info: Children's Institute representatives from Head Start & Wellness programs will share about upcoming events. We also invite community members and partners to share about upcoming events.

Info: Community members who attend will be given a raffle ticket.

Info: Open discussion space for community members to share about any services/programs that they'd like to see more of.
