"SERVICE: 93% of Los Angeles New Look youth recognize they have the power to encourage others to create change in the community."
Los Angeles is a city home to 250 gangs with 50% of their membership under the age of 18. While startling, New Look works with youth in the city to ensure they are making positive decisions and leading a life of success. New Look has supported hundreds of youth from the Los Angeles area, many of whom have demonstrated incredible success by appearing major motion pictures, securing internships with world renowned companies and being recognized by the likes of the UN Foundation for their creative approach to global problems. Youth in LA have also implemented Powered By Service projects addressing issues like malaria, homelessness, the environment and school budget cuts.
