God” (Luke 18:16)

The HOOP Foundation seeks to be a vital re-source in Los Angeles and to develop commu-nity partnerships to guarantee that a better road to success is paved for our common good.

The HOOP Foundation has successfully graduated youth from the program who have completed high school/GED programs, enrolled in college, and become role models for other youth.
