Empowering young people throughout Los Angeles

Boys 2 Gentlemen (B2G) was founded by Mr. Keith Linton, a retired LAPD police officer, in 2015. Currently, B2G partners with Los Angeles County elementary, middle, and high schools and builds safe spaces for student mentorship, social-emotional learning, safe passage, peace-building, community empowerment, and health & wellness programming. Beneficiaries include inner-city youth, parents, and school administrations.
