through the support and leadership from our Tutors/Mentors,
a.k.a “Young Community Leaders.” Each week the LEGACY
class is visited by 8 Napa Valley College students, 4 community
professionals and 4 Vintage High School students who all
volunteer their time to support the academic
success of our LEGACY

During spring break, theLEGACY Youth Project hit the
road to Los Angeles! Our Annual
Educational Field Trip to Los
Angeles is a great opportunity
for our youth to spend a few
days visiting a college, the beach,
and a full day with our great
friends at Homeboy Industries.
After an adventurous drive down
south, the next morning we
teamed up with the Puente Club of Napa Valley College an took the “We Belong Here” college tour atthe University California Los Angles. We spent the rest of the day at Venice
Beach and had some amazing street tacos in East Los Angeles for dinner. The
next day was spent at Homeboy
Industries (see next page). Our
Annual Educational Field Trip to
L.A. is a transformative experience
for our LEGACY youth.
