lOTS OF hOPE 12 mONTH PILOT PROGRAM
Our Vision
Devotion Fitness proposes transforming vacant lots into youth-centered mental health and wellness hubs that replace blight with belonging. These hubs will have fitness and wellness classes, group therapy circles, community gardening, and poetry nights - creating safe, vibrant spaces that foster healing and leadership. Prioritizing residents ages 26 and under, the program addresses rising youth stress, isolation, and violence while encouraging property stewardship and civic pride. By repurposing abandoned land with mobile infrastructure and community partnerships, this 12 month pilot will demonstrate how negated lots can become catalysts for wellness, safety, and community connection in Long Beach
What We'll Offer
- Healing Through Movement - Boxing , Self-defense, and somatic fitness sessions will be provided to release stress and build confidence.
- Creative Wellness: Sound baths , open mic nights, and group therapy circles will help promote self expression and emotional healing.
- Community Beautification: Gardening, composting, and neighborhood activation projects will create pride and joy.
- Peer Leadership & Mentorship: Opportunities for youth to grow as leaders, organizers, and role models.
Why It Matters
Lots of Hope will be known as a 3rd space, rooted in liberation, intergenerational healing, with FREE resources for youth to lead the next generation.
