Who We Serve
Every Young Voice Deserves a Stage
A.G.E.N.D.A Guardianship serves underprivileged youth and young adults between the ages of 13 and 25 across Los Angeles County — and through our global chapter program, in communities around the world.
We target young people who lack access to professional creative training, industry mentorship, and the resources needed to pursue careers in film and media. Our programs are 100% free to students.
Whether in South LA, East LA, the San Fernando Valley, or São Paulo, Lagos, or Seoul — if there are young people with stories to tell, A.G.E.N.D.A belongs there.
