OUR OWN

Our Own is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Their mission is to build and strengthen communities through consistent, life-changing experiences. Our Own creates access to resources for mental, physical, and emotional health to support the underserved. These tools empower people to reimagine themselves and impact their community. The initiatives they have created such as Be Right Back, Keep It Run Hundred, Seed & Soil and SELF provide the access needed in underrepresented communities. Communities served include, Los Angeles County, Ventura County, Compton, Watts, Long Beach, Inglewood and Altadena. Our Own understands that the limited access to mental, physical, and social emotional resources increases stress and trauma, which drastically stifles the opportunity for growth in the community. They believe engagement and a relationship built through experiential learning and actionable tools empowers the community to make informed choices and reclaim their future. LAFC has partnered with Our Own to elevate the importance of registering to voting while educating Angelenos on the importance of voting. We are honored to recognize Our Own and its co-founders Dustin Young and Lee Johnson as our Community Spotlight recipient presented by Target. We thank you for your commitment to Los Angeles.
