ScaleLA Foundation Information

The ScaleLA Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to serving the most pressing needs of the community here in the Greater Los Angeles Area. In order to give back to the region we all know and love, our Executive Director, India Williams established Mentor2Mentor-- a program that works to develop and manage a mentorship pipeline between high school students from diverse backgrounds, entrepreneurial college students, and tech companies in the Los Angeles area. The mentorship curriculum is centered around project-based learning focused on finding solutions to real-world issues within the community. This year, our participants worked to address Youth Homelessness in partnership with Safe Place for Youth. This year, we are launching our Fall 2019 programming with a hackathon to design tech-based solutions for Type II Diabetes Prevention + Awareness. During the program, students are directed to analyze local and national statistics, research studies, and conduct their own interviews with experts, community members, and local affected youth.
