Cultural Inclusion program
Building cultural identity and community pride are central to Upendo House’s mission. The Cultural Leadership and Community Engagement program equips participants with storytelling, advocacy, and leadership skills. Through intergenerational mentorship and community projects, participants foster resilience, personal growth, and a deep connection to their heritage. Together, they become advocates and organizers, leading the way for a stronger, more united community.
Our stories are our power. Upendo House nurtures cultural pride and leadership by connecting participants to their roots through storytelling, community projects, and advocacy training. Participants emerge as confident leaders and change-makers, shaping their neighborhoods with resilience and compassion, while preserving the cultural heartbeat of South Los Angeles.
