Promotor Pathway® Model
Our signature youth development model removes barriers facing youth, proactively encourages participation in a broad set of LAYC services, and connects them to resources within the community.
“Amidst novel and challenging circumstances, LAYC Teen Center staff and youth not only creatively kept media arts programming and their sense of community alive, they effectively elevated youth voices.”
