26-27 Rainbow Labs Development VISTA
 
 
 
Rainbow Labs is a Los Angeles-based nonprofit committed to empowering LGBQ youth and other historically marginalized communities through mentorship, education, and sport. We envision a world where every young person has access to supportive environments that foster personal growth and lifelong success. By combining the power of mentorship with innovative youth programming, we help young leaders build confidence, develop critical life skills, and cultivate meaningful relationships with peers and mentors. Founded during the COVID-19 pandemic in response to the growing isolation and challenges facing youth, Rainbow Labs has grown into a leading force for youth development in Los Angeles County. We provide year-round mentorship programs, after-school enrichment, mental health-informed physical activity programming, and community-wide engagement opportunities. At Rainbow Labs, we don’t just support young people — we work with them. Our youth shape our programs, inform our priorities, and help guide our mission. This deep commitment to co-creation makes Rainbow Labs a truly youth-powered organization. The Development VISTA will play a central role in strengthening Rainbow Labs’ development infrastructure — ultimately helping the organization broaden and diversify its funding base and increase leverage of resources to fight poverty through intentional youth sports and education programming. This opportunity is ideal for someone passionate about social justice, youth development, and nonprofit sustainability. The work of this VISTA Member will directly support our mission by ensuring we can continue to provide life-changing services to hundreds of youth across LA County.
