Los Angeles Conservation Corps

After School Program: The After School Program (serving elementary, middle and high school students) provides homework assistance, academic support and enrichment along with recreation activities to approximately 6000 children at 22 Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) campuses. Academic enrichment activities emphasize conservation, the environment, science, technology, engineering and math. Students also join in art, music and sports activities, serve as teacher aides and participate in on-campus service-learning projects to further connect their classrooms to their daily lives. The program provides working parents in low-income communities with safe and free supervision and care for their children during the hours after school when children this age may encounter unsafe, unsupervised activities that lead to poor school attendance, risky behaviors and low educational achievement.
