The Star Student Program
The Star Student Program is designed to reward middle school students for their hard work, exemplary academic efforts, and school attendance. During the 2010 Major League Soccer season, two middle school students will be recognized at each LA Galaxy home game.

The LA Galaxy are committed to supporting programs and non-profit organizations that make a positive impact in our community with a focus on assisting disadvantaged children in the greater Los Angeles/Southern California area.

Each year, the LA Galaxy players, coaches, and staff make appearances at several community and corporate events. If you are interested in having a member of the Galaxy participate in your event, please review the guidelines and submit a request utilizing the Player Appearance Request Form.

The Galaxy Drive Series is a community initiative where the Galaxy conducts food, clothing, and school supplies drives aimed at assisting Los Angeles area youth and local non-profit organizations.
