The La La Land Foundation's “ThreeSixty” program is an initiative at Rikers Island, providing mentorship and life coaching, legal services, and re-entry tools, to young men ages 18–21 years old who are incarcerated, specifically in the Robert N. Davoren (RNDC) Complex. Weekly interactions and meetings focus on life-building skills that are helpful during their time incarcerated and instrumental to re-entry into the community upon release. The team works to develop one-on-one connections with each of the young men, building trust, and solid relationships among the group and with each other individually.

Housing

Mental Health counseling and access to healthcare
ThreeSixty also partners with various New York Metropolitan Area businesses and restaurants to provide charitable donations and support for the young men during detention and upon release.
