Program Highlights

Los Angeles Field Day Fun with LA Galaxy! 

Our just keep livin Los Angeles students enjoyed an unforgettable afternoon of energy, excitement, and connection at our Field Day, hosted in partnership with LA Galaxy! Held at the beautiful Dignity Health Sports Park, the event brought together students from various JKL programs across the city for a day focused on movement, wellness, and community.

Students rotated through five stations, one of which featured dynamic warm-ups and calisthenics led by Brendan Cosso from World Calisthenics Org. Other stations included fast-paced pickleball matches led by Pickleball Cares, spirited soccer games and kicking drills led by LA Galaxy Star Squad, and the always-entertaining water balloon toss, a favorite that brought tons of laughter and refreshing fun under the California sun.

Beyond the physical activities, the event provided a powerful opportunity for students to step outside their usual environments, meet new peers, and practice teamwork and sportsmanship. A huge thank-you to LA Galaxy for their incredible support and commitment to uplifting youth in our community. Their partnership helped create a truly vibrant, empowering, and joy-filled experience that our students will carry with them for a long time!

Honoring Our Educators

During Teacher Appreciation Week, the just keep livin Foundation’s Collegiate Baton Rouge program, along with several other JKL programs across the country, came together to honor the incredible educators and school staff who go above and beyond every day. These celebrations included wellness activities, heartfelt community support, and personalized tokens of appreciation to recognize their unwavering dedication and impact.

A heartfelt thank-you goes out to our amazing JKL instructors. Your passion, mentorship, and commitment to creating safe, supportive spaces for our students are the foundation of everything we do. You are the heart of these programs, and we appreciate you not just this week, but every single day!
