Learning Works Charter School invites you to our 5th Annual Invest In A Dropout: A Magical Night - Turning Dropouts Into Graduates! 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.
