Our work is dedicated to improving the lives of young people in both urban and rural neighborhoods. We strive to bridge the urban-rural divide by fostering community and understanding between people who live in densely populated cities and those who live and work on the land. The Ed Center provides after school tutoring and enrichment to our local inner-city community in the Crenshaw area of Los Angeles at an affordable price. Currently, there are no comparable programs in the community. We are also partnering with LADWP preparing foster students for the workforce; job training, networking, and interviews. We will be providing 30 paid internships for foster youth every summer withing LADWP and their affiliates. We are looking to expand this program as well to LAPD, LAFD, and other local startups around the city. Saving The West is committed to protecting, preserving and promoting the ethical, historical, social, environmental, sustainable and traditional uses of land in the Western United States of America.
