For years, the Palms Motel, located between our South Los Angeles schools—KIPP Empower Academy (TK–4) and KIPP Academy of Opportunity (5–8)—posed a threat to the safety and well-being of our students and families. The site was long associated with crime, drug activity, and sex trafficking, directly exposing thousands of children to harm. In 2022, KIPP SoCal took action—acquiring and demolishing the Palms Motel to reclaim the space for our community. Today, we’re reimagining this space as a vibrant Community School Center, a place where students and families can learn, play, and connect in safety and pride.
With your help, we will build a secure and enriching community hub featuring an enclosed gymnasium, additional classrooms and flexible learning spaces, a rooftop play area, a community garden, amulti-purpose room for family and neighborhood events. Together, we can transform this ground into a lasting symbol of progress, healing, and hope for South LA.
