Describe the Organization's Mission:
Part 3 - Line 1
826LA PROVIDES FREE TUTORING, WRITING, AND OTHER EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS FOR CHILDREN.
Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
TUTORING: SEVENTY-EIGHT STUDENTS FROM TITLE I SCHOOLS LOGGED IN TO OUR VIRTUAL TUTORING PROGRAMS TO RECEIVE ONE-ON-ONE HELP WITH THEIR HOMEWORK FROM TRAINED VOLUNTEERS. 826LA ALSO PROVIDED WRAP-AROUND SUPPORT FOR THE STUDENTS IN 826LA'S MOST HIGH-TOUCH PROGRAM, CONNECTING FAMILIES TO RESOURCES AND SEVERAL STUDENTS TO AN EDUCATION THERAPIST.
IN-SCHOOL SUPPORT: 826LA WRITERS' ROOMS ARE VIBRANT AND WELCOMING CLASSROOMS AT TWO HIGH SCHOOLS IN LOS ANGELES. IN FISCAL YEAR 2021, WE PROVIDED SUPPORT FOR 588 STUDENTS AND 20 TEACHERS AT MANUAL ARTS AND ROOSEVELT HIGH SCHOOLS. PROJECTS INCLUDED ESSAYS ABOUT COMING OF AGE, LEADERSHIP, AND ETHNIC STUDIES. IN THE FALL, 826LA VOLUNTEERS FOCUSED ON HELPING STUDENTS DRAFT PERSONAL STATEMENTS FOR COLLEGE APPLICATIONS; IN THE SPRING, STUDENTS RESHAPED THOSE SAME ESSAYS INTO SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATIONS.
FIELD TRIPS: AFTER SURVEYING 300 TEACHERS ABOUT THEIR BIGGEST NEEDS, WE LAUNCHED VIRTUAL FIELD TRIPS IN THE FALL OF 2020, OFFERING ONLINE VERSIONS OF FOUR POPULAR FIELD TRIPS: STORYTELLING & BOOKMAKING, SMALL GROUP STORYTELLING, MEMOIR, AND PERSONAL STATEMENTS FOR A TOTAL OF 1,015 STUDENTS. FIELD TRIPS MANIFEST A UNIQUE SPACE WHERE STUDENTS CAN UNLEASH THEIR IMAGINATIONS. WE WERE PLEASED TO DISCOVER THAT SUCH A SPACE DOESN'T HAVE TO BE PHYSICAL. THE NEW PROGRAM ALSO ALLOWED US TO CONNECT WITH SCHOOLS THAT HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN PREVENTED FROM VISITING OUR SITES DUE TO TRANSPORTATION ISSUES. IN THE SPRING, TEACHERS FACED A NEW SET OF CHALLENGES AS SCHOOLS TRANSITIONED FROM VIRTUAL TO HYBRID LEARNING, BUT VIRTUAL FIELD TRIPS PROVIDED A STEADY SOURCE OF SUPPORT. WE ALSO WORKED WITH A TEACHER AT THE ACADEMIC LEADERSHIP COMMUNITY TO WRITE AND PUBLISH VIVA LA VIDA: STORIES OF LIFE, LOVE, AND GROWTH.
WORKSHOPS: OFFERING 16 MULTI-SESSION AND SINGLE-SESSION WORKSHOPS FOR 208 STUDENTS, OUR MOST VARIED PROGRAM COMBINED WRITING WITH STEM AND VISUAL ARTS AND INVITED STUDENTS TO WRITE ZINES, DRAW COMICS, AND INTERVIEW PEOPLE IN THEIR COMMUNITIES. IN OUR LONG-RUNNING JOURNALISM WORKSHOP, A COMMUNITY TEACHING ARTIST ENCOURAGED STUDENTS TO THINK CRITICALLY ABOUT SOCIAL JUSTICE ISSUES ON MICRO AND MACRO LEVELS. IN PROGRAMMING UNPLUGGED, A TEACHING ARTIST HELPED STUDENTS INSTRUCT A "ROBOT" HOW TO MAKE A PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY SANDWICH, WHICH REQUIRED THEM TO CHOOSE CLEAR AND CAREFUL LANGUAGE.
