College Access Rooted in Care
At UrbanPromise Los Angeles, we believe first-generation, underrepresented youth already have the grit, passion, and purpose to lead—what they need is access.
Through weekly college sessions, StreetLeaders receive 1:1 support in exploring colleges and majors, writing and editing essays, searching for scholarships, applying for financial aid and making their college decisions.
Join a community on the RISE.
“I try to be intentional with everything I commit myself to, and I believe serving at UPLA is the best way to accomplish helping others because I am directly supporting these children within and outside of classes. As a teen, I can help change the narrative for
my community and that is empowering and the reason I have continued to serve at Urban Promise.”
- Jackie H. 12th grade StreetLeader
