Leadership Academy Now Enrolling

Each year, Gateway Los Angeles sponsors the LAX Coastal Leadership Academy program.

This seven-session course helps individuals learn more about the inner workings of the community as well as hone-in on their leadership skills. Classes range from education to LAX and city politics to homelessness. Each full-day session has a different focus and includes course supplies, assessments, transportation and meals.

Returning as course instructor is Dr. Kevin Shane Walsh of Global Community Enrichment, who has been with the program for over 14 years. Kevin has worked with large fortune 500 companies like Disney and American Express as well as local nonprofits providing training in leadership.

If you are interested in this year‘s Leadership Academy which will launch in November of 2021 and run once a month until May 2022, please contact Christina Davis at (310) 645-5151.

•  Weekly sidewalk pressure washing

•  Daily porter trash pickup service

•  Increased graffiti and sticker removal

•  Trash can service and bag hauling

•  Sidewalk / Tree-well weeding

“We take seriously our commitment to keep the Gateway area clean and attractive, not only for our tenants and guests but for the millions of people for whom traveling through the Gateway area is their first impression of Los Angeles,’ said Gateway’s Executive Director Laurie Hughes.
