Idea about how to make LA a better place to connect, submitted by this organization in the 2016 challenge.
Make LA the best place to CONNECT
One of five LA2050 Goals
Our region is a place where every resident has the opportunity to engage and interact with other Angelenos and are empowered to contribute meaningfully in civic processes.
In 2050, Los Angeles will be the most civically engaged region in the U.S., with multiple online and offline platforms for residents to voice their opinions and influence elected officials, decision-makers, and local government. Our region’s voting rates and volunteerism will lead the nation, and an expanded network of transportation options will facilitate the easy flow of people and ideas.
Setting the Stage: Developing Young Angelenos as Community Volunteers for a Lifetime
Partnering with key LA schools, Roots & Shoots will connect youth to their communities, build awareness of local issues, empower them through volunteerism, and develop them as compassionate leaders. Learn more
