Verbum Dei Entertainment Club

In a business, which is so rightly committed to increasing diversity, here are a group of diverse students right in our backyard in South Central, LA.

7 years ago, we started working with Verbum Dei High School in Watts and founded their Entertainment Club.

Verbum Dei is the most amazing school - taking kids from underprivileged surrounding neighborhoods, who’re often 1 to 3 grades behind, and in a matter of 4 years getting them to a place where they can go to college - in fact last year, Verbum Dei’s graduating seniors had a 100% acceptance rate to college with 91% getting accepted to 4-year colleges!

The mission of the club is to open our students' eyes to the possibility of a career in the entertainment industry. Over the years, they’ve met with actors, directors, writers, executives and gone on tours of Warner Bros, Paramount and Sony. One of our students, on a tour of Bad Robot, even had the nerve to introduce himself to J.J Abrams and got an internship out of it!

So what we’d love to do is have you get to know them - and learn more about Verbum Dei and its innovative Work Study program. We know the students are really excited about your support - in fact they’re so excited they made a short video and if nothing else please check it out above!

We are also raising money for the Entertainment Club and the Adopt-A-Student Program. A suggested donation is $100 a family but please give whatever you think you can.  You can donate by clicking the 'Donate' button on this page.

There is a lot of talk about helping to make our business more diverse, here is your opportunity to make a difference at the ground level. We really appreciate any donations.



Thanks so much,

Trevor and Nick
