Courtney Lockridge & Emerita Flores

Co-Founders

With their roots embedded in expanded learning for almost two decades, Impact LA was founded by two women, who found their passion to give back to the community that raised them.

our values

United by a shared passion, they set out to create opportunities for youth to explore life beyond their usual boundaries, offering experiences that might otherwise remain out of reach. 


Our values are the ideals and principles that are at the heartbeat of our organization and guide the decision-making, actions and behaviors in everything we do. 

What We Do

Nutritious Meals

Expanded Learning Program

Expanded Learning Program

We aim to ensure that all kids get the nutritious meals they need everyday for FREE. Some kids can't count on having a healthy meal waiting for them when they get home, especially a warm one. That is why we are sponsored through DPSS and CDE to ensure we meet the nutritional needs of kids 1-18 years old in order to thrive every day.

Expanded Learning Program

Expanded Learning Program

Expanded Learning Program

We provide effective expanded learning programs during periods where kids are out of school by combining three components—academic enrichment, cultural activities, and recreational opportunities that guide learning and engage children and youth.

Food Rescue

Community Events

Community Events

We are committed to rescuing surplus food and redistributing it to those in need. Our food recovery initiative helps combat food insecurity by collecting fresh, nutritious food from local businesses, farms, and food providers that would otherwise go to waste.

Our community events including our weekly Distribution Drive, annual Back to School Backpack Giveaway and Thanksgiving Turkey Dinner Drive serve to provide resources, motivate activists, bring allies together and increase awareness of the needs in our communities.
