What We Do

Our goal is to build trust with communities through continuous in-person outreach and support, while helping local business leaders grow through tailored training and practical tools. We conduct meticulous, community-rooted research that translates into real policy and systemic change.

Our Programs

At LEEAF, we help small business owners grow through our accelerators and bootcamps. We teach small business owners how to organize their business finances so they can confidently get funding, and we guide them step-by-step through the process of winning big government and corporate contracts. Through hands-on training, tools, and mentorship, LEEAF gives entrepreneurs everything they need to build a successful business that strengthens our community.

Strategy Studio

At Strategy Studio, we’re a team of client liaisons and technical builders dedicated to helping small businesses across LA County optimize and grow. Over a collaborative 4-to-6-week process, we work closely with entrepreneurs to deliver high-impact assets like custom social media templates, tailored SEO packages, brand books, and fully optimized 4-page websites.

Starting in June 2026, our team will be working on a number of marketing boost projects where we will support vendor/cart based businesses with digital marketing plans and branding. Our goal with each project is to help small business owners feel empowered, garnered with information on how to better run their business, and provide them at least one digital asset to drive online traffic to their business.
