Communities We Serve
Taking The Reins’ core programs annually serve several hundred girls ages 8-18,
attending Los Angeles Unified School District Title 1 schools, and other youth-serving nonprofits across the City of Los Angeles. The vast majority of TTR participants reside in low-income to poverty-level households, and attend schools where they qualify for the reduced or free lunch program.
