Community Build Founder,
Congresswoman Maxine Waters

“I have had the privilege of serving South Central Los Angeles and other Southern California communities as a public elected official for over twenty-six years. During that time I've accomplished many things that have changed California and improved the environment for unskilled, uneducated, poor people, who historically are overlooked or forgotten! One of my most satisfying professional and personal accomplishments was the founding of Community Build, Inc.

"Community Build is extremely important to me because, through it we are able to provide training, counseling, guidance and employment services to the hard core unemployed, who live in some of Los Angeles' most impoverished communities.

"Teaching, training and empowering people, who are able to empower their communities, for a better quality of life, is the essence of Community Build.”
