The SoLa Foundation (est. 2017), the 501(c)(3) nonprofit affiliate of SoLa Impact, is built on a simple premise: If you CAN see it, you CAN be it. SoLa aims to improve the lives of South LA residents through access to educational, technological, and economic opportunities. We work towards uplifting underserved Black and Latinx communities using our four pillars of change:

Access to Career Development & Entrepreneurship 

Access to Education & Tech Innovation

Access to Financial Literacy & Economic Mobility

Access to College Readiness & Scholarships

We're an intergenerational community. Including adults with a lived care experience provides unique benefits to both youth and adults as they learn and grow together. By intentionally encouraging foster and extended families to join our village, our community is stronger than ever.
