BOOST STUDENTS IMPACT COMMUNITY
Cal State LA BOOST students visit Hillsides Education Center for a special sneak  peek  of the student band practicing for their upcoming concert. A collapsible stage was designed and built by last year's BOOST students with the help of Adel Sharif. The collapsible stage has allowed students freedom to perform, entertain, and express themselves across campus and for larger audiences. Hillsides  is  "dedicated to improving the overall well-being and functioning of vulnerable children, youth, and their families." Cal State LA BOOST students and faculty contribute to this mission and have directly impacted the lives of children in the community. Learn more by contacting Deborah Won. | Photos
