Idea about how to make LA a better place to learn, submitted by this organization in the 2020 challenge.
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.
Fill the gaps, all our youth deserve to thrive!
SEWI places master’s level social work interns (MSW) in Los Angeles County; primarily schools and afterschool programs to provide mental health services, crisis intervention, group counseling, staff training and social and emotional learning curriculum. Interns are supervised by full-time MSW or LCSW staff with backgrounds in mental health services specializing in the Solution Focused Therapy intervention model. Learn more
