Invest In A Dropout: All Souls Matter!
Learning Works Charter School invites you to our 4th Annual Invest In A Dropout: All Souls Matter! fundraiser to raise money for the programs and wraparound services that directly benefit the students of Learning Works. It is a place where dropouts turn into graduates while facing insurmountable obstacles such as: poverty, low academic achievement, court issues, mental health needs, homelessness, hunger, transportation barriers, child care for pregnant and/or parenting teens, and many more.
In addition to our main campus, Learning Works has created many programs to serve disengaged youth:
~ Learning Works@Homeboy Industries- our satellite campus located at Homeboy's original site at 1916 East 1st Street in the heart of Boyle Heights. ~ Pregnant and Parenting Teen Program (PPT)- we help teen mothers finish their high school diploma. Parenting and health support provided by our partners, Mother's Club and Pasadena Health Department. ~ Hope Works- our drop-in center serving homeless youth ages 17-23, provides food, toiletries and support services. We now have a shower located within Hope Works making it truly a refuge from the streets. ~ artWORKS- studio space down the street with a wide range of arts opportunities including digital storytelling, screen printing, recording/music production, and starting this fall, we have added guitar workshop and fiber and textile arts with our continued partnership with Armory Center for the Arts. ~ GroWORKS- we cultivate a school garden to teach middle and high school students about caring for an inner-city garden. The garden is integrated into school curriculum by teaching the benefits of nutrition, enhancing career opportunities and inspiring creativity.
