Fourteen-year-old Avery Colvert lost her middle school to the L.A. wildfires, but not her compassion and drive to help others.

In the wake of the devastation, Avery quickly started Altadena Girls in L.A. to help teen girls who have lost everything regain their confidence and sense of self. Young girls can come in to pick up new clothes, shoes, makeup, and skin care – all for free.

In moments like these, even the ordinary can feel extraordinary. As one teen patron put it, “One jacket means the absolute world when you have zero jackets!”

Altadena Girls then inspired Altadena Boys, which provides boys the same services.
