Our Mission
The Compton Initiative is a non-profit organization founded in 2006 with a commitment to restore the city of Compton by painting homes, schools, churches, and public murals as well as conducting neighborhood clean-ups on quarterly workdays in partnership with individual volunteers and other organizations.
Starting with a small group of volunteers eager to show love and inspire hope, we've grown to thousands or caring neighbors and workers or all ages and backgrounds in yellow shirts who serve across the city.
We offer residents, community organizations, service groups and non-profits an opportunity to make a sustainable impact in Compton by instilling a sense of care and pride within each neighborhood.
TELL US ABOUT YOUR COMPTON NEIGHBOR IN NEED.
Our New Website Is Under Construction!
Thanks for your patience as we work to build a new and improved The Compton Initiative website.
Some pages, links, or resources may be temporarily unavailable while we make the transition. We appreciate your grace and patience and we’re excited to share the new site with you soon!
