College Access
LAYC’s College Access team works with students and families to prepare students for success in high school and college through homework assistance, academic tutoring, a dedicated mentor, monthly social-emotional/life workshops, and monthly check-ins. Support will improve students’ academic performance and provide enrichment opportunities that aid in students’ personal, academic and social lives. We create a safe, caring and culturally sensitive, bilingual environment where students and families build long-term, productive relationships with experienced mentors.
