Kamaurah is an accomplished first-generation UCLA student, a Para Los Niños (PLN) youth advisor, and a Youth Committee for Los Angeles’ Youth Workforce Development board member. Her journey with PLN began in 2020 as a high school freshman when she spotted a flier for PLN’s college readiness initiative. She and her recently graduated older brother were connected to PLN’s Youth Workforce Services program (YWS), which provided them both with their first paid internship opportunities.
During her internship, Kamaurah joined PLN’s Youth Advisory Council, a position she still holds today. This small youth-directed group engages with students to learn how their needs are being met and find areas PLN can improve upon. Kamaurah also helped organize a sexual and domestic violence education workshop with the organization Peace Over Violence.
Her journey with Para Los Niños’ Youth Workforce Services is a testament to the transformative power of youth programs. Read more about her journey at the link in our bio!
