Our Story

AMB in the Antelope Valley

Launched in April 2023 alongside the Lancaster Chapter, the Palmdale Chapter brings AMB's proven model to the Antelope Valley. Together, Palmdale and Lancaster form a coordinated twin-city network that maximizes reach and impact across one of Los Angeles County's fastest-growing and most challenged regions.

Under California State Director Jumall Hill, Palmdale youth now have access to AMB's full suite of programming — basketball, life skills, mentorship, and violence prevention.
