Meet Our Team
Cynthia Buelna
PRESIDENT / FOUNDER
Reach LA was founded in 2017 by Cynthia Buelna who grew up in South Central, LosAngeles.
She saw how young women filled the streets at night and sold their bodies to survive. She wanted to make a change. However, quickly she learned that 60% of sex trafficking victims have been in the foster care system. The system was failing and she knew she needed to do something about it.
“What if we can reach them before they make life threatening decisions?” Reach LA is an organization that will educate and mentor these young men and women on how to avoid these pitfalls and build a healthy life.
