Line 4 Line Oneil Barber and Beauty Salon

Line4line's mission is to engage, inspire, and connect youth through free community-based programming that champions creative literacy, book access, and positive mentorship. Line4line began with a simple yet powerful idea: offering free haircuts to young people who read aloud. This innovative approach has since evolved into a comprehensive organization dedicated to fostering youth development in baton rouge. Building on this history, our work today empowers youth by creating robust ecosystems of care that utilize various community spaces (from the barbershop to classrooms) to foster a culture of literacy and provide a continuous continuum of educational support.
