Check out what our e-board members have to say about their experiences with Kinetic!
“Kinetic is truly a unique organization. We are a small group, focused on the issues of food insecurity, environmental sustainability, and mental health. However, our size fosters a tight-knit community, and allows us to be flexible in responding to the needs of our community partners. Our approach is research-driven, with an emphasis on designing sustainable solutions to South LA's most pressing problems. I have been incredibly fortunate to help lead this organization and I am excited to see where this school year takes us!”

It’s one of the few clubs on campus that truly allows its members to take full responsibility and leadership in projects that actively tackles real issues permeating South LA and the community at large.”
