The Mission

The Tom LaBonge Civic Project works to foster civic pride in Los Angeles through Tom LaBonge’s core principles of volunteerism and service to the betterment of both community and our natural environment.

During Tom’s tenure as a Los Angeles City councilmember, he created many programs that served his district, several that invited people to enjoy and care for the outdoors. He shared with Angelenos how to celebrate the city through fierce commitment to service and immediate action, employing a “just get it done” attitude. Tom left impressions across Los Angeles by being a doer.

As the Tom LaBonge Civic Project continues to grow and develop in its first year, we intend to roll up our sleeves with existing entities such as council offices, neighborhood councils, civic groups, schools, and community members to continue Tom’s actionable efforts — staying true to his core values with which he led and loved Los Angeles.
