Idea about how to make LA a better place to play, submitted by this organization in the 2020 challenge.
Make LA the best place to PLAY
One of five LA2050 Goals
Our region is a place where people of all ages have easy access to clean, safe, and sustainable venues to enjoy the natural environment, arts and cultural resources, and local beaches, waterways, and open space.
In 2050, people of all ages will enjoy safe homes, safe neighborhoods, and safe places to play. Every neighborhood will provide its residents with vibrant park space, every child will have access to afterschool enrichment programs, and residents will love their neighborhoods.
"Keep Playing"
This grant will support and strengthen existing HL-LA programs and launch our “Keep Playing“ initiative aimed at retaining students in our current programs and continuing to serve them over longer periods of time through high school and beyond. This includes keeping middle school students engaged with Harlem Lacrosse’s year-round programming and creating new pathways for alumni of our middle school programs to stay involved and engage directly with HL-LA mentors and coaches.
