The Rooted Foundation

Rooted is where urban youth rediscover their worth, build strength from within, and grow into the leaders their communities need.

Founded by a Long Beach native and veteran police officer, Rooted empowers the next generation through mentorship, wellness, and purpose.

Who We Are:

We’re not just a program—we’re a movement.

Rooted was built from real experience and a deep understanding of what young people in our communities face every day. We exist to provide something many never receive—guidance, structure, and a foundation to grow.
