LA Squares is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to strengthening underserved communities throughout Los Angeles.
Our work combines community service with long term opportunity.
We support children and families with essentials such as food, clothing, shoes, school, supplies, backpacks, holiday assistance, and other resources.
But we also believe helping someone should go beyond getting them through one difficult day.
That is why LA Squares is building programs around scholarships, mentorship, workforce certifications, career training, and access to industries that can change the financial direction of an individual or an entire family.
Our mission is to strengthen underserved communities by providing resources, education, mentorship, basic-needs support, workforce development, and pathways to long-term opportunity for children, families, and adults.
Helping Families Today
LA Squares work year round to support children and families throughout South Los Angeles and surrounding communities
Our outreach includes:
Backpacks, school supplies, shoes, clothing, and educational resources.
Food distributions, hygiene products, clothing, and community resource connections.
Trunk or Treat, neighborhood Friendsgiving, holiday programs, Christmas tree giveaways, toy distributions, and other family centered events.
Support for individuals and families experiencing homelessness, including those living in shelters, vehicles, and on Skid Row.
Creating Opportunity for Tomorrow
We believe a person's ZIP code or financial situation should not decide which careers they are allowed to dream about.
Through scholarships, mentorship, training assistance, and employer partnerships, LA Squares is helping underserved youth and adults pursue careers with real earning potential and long term growth.
Opening doors to careers in Trucking , Maritime, and Aviation
LA Squares Building Legacy Career Pathways was created to remove the financial and informational barriers that prevent many underserverved people from entering high potential careers.

Golden Wingz Aviation Scholarship
The Golden Wingz Aviation Scholarship is inspired by firsthand experience
The Founders Paul and Le'Mar Marshall pursed aviation training and experienced how expensive the road to becoming a pilot can be. They also saw how often aspiring minority pilots become interested in aviation but walked away once they learned the cost of training .
The Golden Wingz Aviation now lives under LA Squares as part of Building Legacy.
Support may include:
Success Means:
Helping participants progress through aviation training, earn credentials, and move forward to promising careers in aviation.
Built from real experiences
These programs were not created by simply choosing three industries that sounded good.
They grew from experiences within the LA Squares family.
Our Founders Paul and Le'Mar Marshall previously owned Marshall Logistics, a dry van cross country trucking company. Giving them firsthand experience in transportation and logistics.
They later pursed aviation and became pilots, experiencing firsthand the cost and challenges associated with entering the aviation industry.
Loren Ross, founder of LA Squares, experienced his own obstacles entering the maritime industry and now wants to help make that road easier for others coming behind him.
Those experiences became the foundation of
LAND- SEA - AIR
We know what it feels like to look at a opportunity and wonder:
"How do I even get in?"
Building legacy exists to help answer that question.




TRAIN - CREDENTIAL - EMPLOYMENT
Our goal is not to just simply pay for training
Our goal is to help participants finish the training, earn the credential,and enter the career field.
