Education Development

HACLA provides variety of youth programs that emphasize the importance of education.  One of our longstanding program is with the University of California Los Angeles (UCCLA); for more than 15 years youth who reside in our public housing communities have been participating in weekly tutorial sessions at UCLA.  Each student works one-on-one with a college intern.  The interns provide homework assistance, as well as mentorship.  Additionally, students receive first hand experience on how a college campus operates.  Residents also participate in community service projects with UCLA students and attend field trips.
