River La

River LA was awarded a California State Parks Outdoor Equity Grant supporting the city of Compton. Some of the programs include taking 2500 youth to state parks and environmental and wildlife programs. River LA has organized camping trips, hikes with wolves, education in gardening and outdoor sports. The impact of the program is significant and life changing for children who have never ventured more than a mile from their homes.

The Water Forum is a five year project to convene around water issues. This is a forum that will bring together key decision makers in California, Nevada, Arizona and Mexico to move forward with well-defined goals and solutions to shared water challenges and to ensure that our new Los Angeles and California water platforms that address infrastructure, community outreach and needs, equity, and programs being led by Prop 1 to build structure to capture, store, clean and reuse water succeed.
