Make LA the best place to CREATE
One of five LA2050 Goals
Our region empowers its residents to harness their creativity by fostering entrepreneurship, cultural diversity, and inclusivity.
In 2050, Los Angeles will continue to play host to the largest concentration of working artists in the nation and provide support to maintain (and build) its robust collection of arts establishments. It will lead the nation in manufacturing and become an international leader in technology and innovation. Our region will be a center for entrepreneurial activity that creates jobs and generates wealth for a diverse, flexible, and talented workforce. LA’s business community will reflect the diversity of our region, enhancing our international business opportunities.
Reunifying children with their incarcerated parents in prisons throughout California
Get On The Bus would like to expand our pilot Camp Suzanne restorative justice summer camp program for children and their incarcerated parents taking place inside prison walls. This weeklong camp was successfully piloted during the summer of 2015 for 12 children and their mothers at the Federal Correctional Institution-Dublin Facility. Our goal is to offer the camp to a greater number of children and add a much-needed art therapy component. Learn more
