Learn To Be Foundation

Spearheaded by Director of Education and Outreach, Bruce Dos Santos, the Learn To Be Foundation has established a partnership with the UCLA Community School (UCLA-CS). With weekly sessions focusing on topics from science to writing, Learn To Be has dedicated each Thursday to engaging UCLA-CS students in an after-school setting.

The UCLA Community School is an innovative K-12 learning environment linking the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD), the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), and the Belmont Education Collaborative, a powerful coalition of community-based organizations. As a university-assisted school, the UCLA Learn To Be student organization has taken advantage of an avenue for engagement of UCLA faculty, staff and students.

In an effort to continue working in underserved communities and closing the achievement gap in public school education, the Learn To Be Foundation is proud to work with innovative teachers, administrators and hard-working students from the UCLA Community School.
