Blazers Youth Service Community Club, INC

The Blazers Youth Service Community Club, INC provides socio-economically disadvantaged Los Angeles area youth ages 6 to 24, particularly in the South Central and Westside districts of the city, with multidimensional, multicultural leadership and academic skills building opportunities. To achieve these objectives, the Blazer Organization developed a fully volunteer program combining competitive basketball activities, group and individualized tutorial services which complement school based learning, periodical forums that expose participants to adult role models in various professional fields, and cultural and civic educational activities in the broader community.
