Make LA the best place to LEARN
One of five LA2050 Goals
Our region offers opportunities for lifelong learning, allowing all residents to contribute their skills, talents, and abilities to society.
By 2050, all Los Angeles students will have access to early education programs, every high school student will graduate and be college and career ready, and all parents will be engaged and empowered to direct their children’s learning. LA will capitalize on its concentration of higher education facilities to foster new businesses, advance research, and spur innovation.

Together, Say Word and 4C LAB empower underserved youth to merge spoken word & dance to share original stories of identity, empathy & equality while sparking dialogue across diverse communities in LA. Learn more
