2020 - 2021 Inaugural Team

How it all began...
We were the inaugural team of LEVEL UP LA. In our first year we formed a non-profit, partnered with our first school, fundraised for their specific needs, built our website and created new and unique ways to raise money within our local community. Team #1 is created the blue print for all future teams. We reached our original goal of raising $50K in the 2020-21 school year. Our team of 10 students grew to over 20 by the end of the year. We continued to grow, representing different high schools within the Los Angeles area. During our year, we worked within smaller subgroups to focus on various aspects of building Level UP LA. During our second school year we raised another $50K to continue to help supply classroom needs, campus beautification, field trips and support students going back to the classroom.
