Welcome to the Los Angeles Young Marines Inc., a not for profit youth organization. The organization was developed in October of 2000 by Commanding Officer Ramon Herrera and it started in March of 2001 for his daughter Brandie Lyn Herrera, who wanted to enroll in a Marine Corps Jr. ROTC program, which Los Angeles did not have. Upon opening the program, CO Herrera realized the dramatic need for Angelino youths that instilled the Marine Corps' values and principals, which he realized during his tour in the Marine Corps. Always having a desire to open up a program in Los Angeles that would provide a safe heaven for youths from gangs and drugs, the program not only allowed his daughter to receive the training she desired and introduced Los Angeles to the Marine Corps' values and principals, but also fulfilled CO Herrera's desire to help make an impact in the fight against drugs and gangs. Seven years later, the program has not only been successful in deterring our youths from gangs and drugs, but it has instilled a desire in them to continue their education after high school.
Our MissionTo provide education and training to the youths in our community, so they can become proactive members of our society, while instilling the desire and need for a college education.
