  • Rebrand Alert: We’ve Always Been Young People to the Front

    In this episode, Tony, Fatine and Robin delve into the rebranding of their organization, Lens Co, to Young People to the Front Incorporated. They explain that the change was necessary to streamline their mission and vision, as Lens Co no longer accurately represented their work in the youth homelessness policy space. They discuss the evolution of their organization over the past five years and the need to amplify the voices of marginalized communities. Tony, Fatine and Robin also touch on the significance of their new logo, which incorporates an amplifier symbol to represent their role in listening and amplifying the work of others. Overall, the rebranding reflects their commitment to creating structural change through innovative solutions and community collaboration.

  • A Tribute to Relly
    We are devastated by the loss of Relly Brown. We first met Relly in 2017 and they have been a member of the Lens Co team and collaborator since our inception.
    Relly’s contributions to our community are immeasurable. We are immensely grateful that they shared their voice, experience, and spirit with us. They were a relentless advocate for ending youth homelessness in Los Angeles and across the country. There is no doubt that the way we think about and address youth homelessness is different because of Relly’s contributions.
    In November 2018, Relly helped us put on the Young People to the Front Summit and recorded conversations with their peers for Hello Dogtown. Please listen.
