About
Our Story
The ING Fellowship began as an idea among a group of friends and community members who thought that there were not enough outlets in Inglewood for young people to voice their thoughts, ideas, and concerns about different issues affecting the Inglewood community.
As the group shared different experiences of growing up in Inglewood, the group realized there were similar views on a need to create a leadership pipeline for young people to develop and become civic engagement leaders in Inglewood. Over the course of a year, the group collectively envisioned and created the ING Fellowship.
The Issue
The ING Fellowship seeks to address the lack of civic engagement in the Inglewood community, especially among young people.
Currently, Inglewood, CA is undergoing a “transformation” through new development projects, such as stadiums and arenas. Consequently, the Inglewood community will be experiencing gentrification.
The Fellowship’s purpose is to ensure that young people are a part of the decision-making process in Inglewood and Greater South Bay Area.
The ING Fellowship empowers young people who are passionate about social justice to organize, mobilize, and address different issues affecting Inglewood and the Greater South Bay Area.
The Fellowship offers a space where young people can voice their thoughts, ideas, and concerns to take collective action to influence local community initiatives in Inglewood and Greater South Bay Area.
Ultimately, the Fellowship aims to create transformative change by creating a leadership pipeline for young people to develop and become civic engagement leaders in Inglewood and the Greater South Bay Area.
