Mission

LAZERA transforms communities by creating lasting social and economic equity, through shared power, intergenerational partnerships, leadership development, and healing-centered practices. 

Why

The life expectancy of residents for the community we serve is 8 years less than our neighbors.

Vision

We envision a thriving community where youth and community members are recognized as leaders.  Where lived experience shapes solutions which create equitable systems of support, leading to healthier communities and generational opportunities for all.

Helping Hands

OVER 17,000 FAMILIES SERVED SINCE 2019

OUR INITIATIVES

LAZERA’s work is guided by the 4 Ps—Power, Privilege, Proximity, and Purpose. We build shared power by centering lived experience, confronting privilege to advance equity, leading from proximity to strengthen trust and relevance, and cultivating purpose-driven leadership rooted in service and accountability. Together, these values shape our commitment to healing, systems transformation, and generational opportunity.
