Welcome, KROQ fans!
Founded on Skid Row in 1980, Para Los Niños partners with thousands of L.A.’s working families to achieve their educational, emotional and economic goals. In addition to providing early education, TK-8th grade education, youth workforce services and family services, we remain the only children’s mental health provider in the Skid Row neighborhood. The need is real, and the impact is powerful.
In its 45-year history, 2025 has been among the most challenging for PLN families, but you can make a meaningful impact this holiday season. Anyone who donated $25 or more between Thursday, December 4, through Thursday, December 11, were automatically entered to win a pair of tickets. Congratulations to Denise T. and Rebecca T. for winning a pair of tickets to KROQ’s Almost Acoustic Christmas!
If you’d still like to support Para Los Niños’ work, see how you can get involved!
