Originally founded to serve the monolingual Japanese living in Little Tokyo, LTSC continues to serve this population and has since expanded to serve the broader Japanese American population throughout Southern California. The long-term vision for LTSC’s work in Little Tokyo has been and continues to be to revitalize it as a vibrant community, promoting and preserving its unique cultural heritage, and stimulating its economic health. As LTSC gained experience its work expanded to address the needs of disadvantaged groups of all ethnicities and backgrounds. Today, LTSC collaborates with community-based organizations that are addressing needs in low-income communities throughout Los Angeles. LTSC has evolved significantly to incorporate arts and culture into its everyday work across departments. Using innovative arts-based strategies and solutions to achieve agency goals and strengthen cohesion among staff is an integral part of this evolution.
