YWCA Greater Los Angeles

The YWCA Greater Los Angeles has roared into 2010!  With the closing of the L.A. Job Corps Urban Campus new market tax credit financing in late December, the construction moved into the next phase full steam ahead -- shoring is complete and the “the big hole dig” for the  basement and foundation begins this week!   We would like you to join us in celebrating this project on February 11, 2010 at 2:00 p.m.   The “YWCA Los Angeles Job Corps Construction Celebration” will take place at the parking lot adjacent to 1031 S. Hill Street.  

The YWCA Greater Los Angeles has worked for several years to create an environment where the L.A. Job Corps students could live and learn in an environment conducive to a higher standard of living which many of us experience daily.   We set out to create this environment by vowing to build a brand new home and campus for the hundreds of emancipated, lost and homeless youth to experience a sense of pride and security in a place to call home.  

As this opportunity unfolded, many of you rallied around the YWCA Greater Los Angeles to create the necessary parts that would ultimately result in the building of YWCA Los Angeles Job Corps “Urban Campus” -- right in the heart of downtown Los Angeles.  And for this, on behalf of the Job Corps students, I extend our deep appreciation and a heartfelt “thank you”.  I hope you will be able to join in the celebration.  Please RSVP to   Executive Assistant, Ruth Hern at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

About Pan African Film & Arts Festival
Established in 1992, The Pan African Film Festival (PAFF) is a non-profit corporation dedicated to the promotion of cultural and racial tolerance and understanding through the exhibition of film, art and creative expression.
It is PAFF's goal to present and showcase the broad spectrum of Black creative works, particularly those that reinforce positive images and help to destroy negative stereotypes. We believe film and art can lead to better understanding and foster communication between peoples of diverse cultures, races, and lifestyles, while at the same time, serve as a vehicle to initiate dialogue on the important issues of our times.
