Kid City Hope Place

2026 Lark Awards Awardee

Kid City Hope Place is a “third space” in downtown Los Angeles where youth and young adults– particularly first-generation, low-income students of color– can find community. Kid City’s mission is to activate the innate potential of young people in South and Central Los Angeles through youth-led music programs, college access and success support, career training, and advocacy that cultivate self-empowered leaders and build a community committed to equitable college and career success.
