"Supporting the Transformation of Communities through the Reclaimed Vision for the Individual, the Family, and the Community."

ICV is the only NGO in South Los Angeles built on a history of long-standing community relationships with an in-depth understanding of how youth become vulnerable to exploitation and recruitment into the commercial sex trade. We engage what is statistically the most vulnerable population of at-risk and exploited youth and provide solutions to their ever-evolving hardships.
