OUR CAUSES
Career and College Readiness
Los Angeles Hope for Kids is dedicated to preparing high school students for their future by providing comprehensive guidance on career exploration, internships, and college preparation. Our goal is to help students discover their passions and understand the educational paths available to them.
Community Engagement
At Los Angeles Hope for Kids, we organize events and activities designed to foster a sense of community and connection among families, mentors, and volunteers. These events provide a supportive environment where everyone can come together to celebrate the growth and achievements of the children. Activities range from educational workshops and leadership development sessions to recreational events like family fun days and community festivals. By creating these shared experiences, we strengthen the bonds between children and the broader community, ensuring they have the support system they need to thrive.
These events also allow mentors and volunteers to engage with the children outside of formal program settings, deepening their relationships and creating memorable, positive experiences. Whether it’s hosting a back-to-school drive, organizing community cleanups, or celebrating milestones at year-end gatherings, these activities create an inclusive space where children feel valued and supported in their personal and academic journeys.

Under his leadership, the program has become a vital resource for children, offering them the opportunity to build lasting relationships with positive role models who help them navigate the challenges of growing up. Vivek’s personal experiences with mentorship have shaped his belief that every child deserves a trusted guide who can inspire them to pursue their goals and dreams. His hands-on approach ensures that the program remains impactful, creating a network of support that extends far beyond the classroom and into the lives of Los Angeles youth.
