“IF YOU WANT TO LIFT YOURSELF UP, LIFT UP SOMEONE ELSE.” ~ BOOKER T. WASHINGTON
We held our final academy meeting on May 5, 2021, and wrapped up our sixth programmatic year at the end of June. Last week, we connected with the Economic & Workforce Development Department—City of Los Angeles General Manager, Ms. Hull, to share her thoughts on addressing people with high employment barriers. LA:RISE is demonstrating that a public-private partnership can help solve some of society’s biggest challenges!
“In the city of L.A, societal problems can only be addressed through collaboration,” ~Carolyn Hull. Agreed!
Thank you to our dedicated partners. We are so proud of your commitment to serving our community! This is a throwback to 2015 when LA:RISE was launched as a city-only program and expanded countywide in 2018.
