Students participated in programming for 180 days during the school year and 20 - 30 days during summer and school breaks through the ASPIRE and PREP programs. Activities were aligned with school-day instruction and included homework help, tutoring, academic enrichment, social-emotional learning, physical fitness, and experiential learning such as field trips and real-world career exposure.In addition to academic support, 1,536 students participated in KidsPlay, LEARNs gender-specific youth sports program offering Basketball, Olympic Handball, Flag Football, and Cross-Country. KidsPlay emphasized skill development, confidence building, and promoting healthy lifestyles, especially for youth with limited access to organized sports. This program continued to operate free of charge, ensuring equitable access to recreational opportunities. LEARN introduced innovative clubs across all high school PREP sites to develop career-related skills, including Drivers Education, Culinary Arts, E-Sports, Cosmetology, Barista Training, and Barbering. Many of these clubs awarded certificates of completion, supporting students future college and career readiness. Partnerships with school district Career Technical Education (CTE) departments ensured alignment with elective credit and career pathways.Special initiatives, such as Summerpalooza, provided students with a transformative college and career readiness experience through a multi-day event designed to build academic motivation, self-confidence, and goal-setting skills. 126 students participated across two weekends, engaging in workshops focused on overcoming barriers, identifying resources for success, and developing future plans. Surveys indicated that 97% of students believed the event taught them valuable life skills, helped them create a future plan, and increased their confidence in achieving post-high school goals. Many students also visited college campuses for the first time, further expanding their awareness of higher education opportunities.STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES (202324):LEARN provided 2,016 students with academic support through in-class tutoring at six Whittier-area high schools. This initiative delivered over 53,000 points of service, integrating high-quality, rigorous academic assistance directly into classrooms to bolster student engagement and performance. In addition, our Saturday LEARN Academy provided 6,594 students in grades K8 with 48 hours of math and science instruction over the academic year. The programs focus remained on recovering lost instructional time, closing achievement gaps and improving long-term academic outcomes. LEARNs programs continue to reflect its mission to foster student success, well-being, and equity by delivering comprehensive, culturally sustaining, and real-world-relevant learning experiences. 13286706 true true false false false false false false false false true false false true true false true false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 19 0 true 601 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 9 8 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false CA X Brenda Carrillo 5629450150 7200 Greenleaf 300 Whittier CA 90602 Robert Arellanes CEO 40.00 0.00 X 176952 0 69067 Brenda Carrillo COO 40.00 0.00 X 132447 0 13183 Lea Martinez Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Pamela Marquez Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Gina-Marie Lopez Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Robert D Bell Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Vann Priest Board Chair 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Nicasio Salerno Board Member 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Edwin Alvarado Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 309399 82250 2 false true false 0 15066759 15066759 0 8306 8306 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Other Income 900099 25894 25894 25894 15100959 34200 0 0 0 0 338158 338158 0 9755062 9605935 149127 49533 45421 4112 370470 339715 30755 783527 718481 65046 0 0 45165 45165 0 0 2734 2734 123578 123578 0 0 262516 152488 110028 0 125543 44058 81485 28963 25607 3356 0 47513 18699 28814 186749 186749 0 263488 34 263454 28428 28428 Participant Cost 828824 795237 32934 653 Curriculum Materials 499571 499571 Equipment & Furniture 415434 415434 Supplies 357852 254018 101032 2802 366598 248430 118068 100 14879706 13286706 1589445 3555 1710196 137019 0 1896709 2928567 0 0 0 0 0 151036 110199 1887326 1403495 658251 483831 213803 253082 0 0 0 238858 758352 4868853 4671050 643240 952842 1272930 15801 507844 1931971 1460686 X 2133875 846097 803007 2364267 2936882 3210364 4868853 4671050 X 221253 9139 43090 X false true X false true true X 6846914 7714621 8147868 12109378 15066759 49885540 0 0 6846914 7714621 8147868 12109378 15066759 49885540 0 49885540 4334 4649 7675 13118 8306 38082 0 72366 35183 29186 25894 162629 50086251 0.99600 0.99290 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 37150 12740 24410 1806216 1355964 450252 43960 34791 9169 483831 457b & 457f Plan Assets 256035 ROU Operating Lease asset 502317 758352 Lease Liability 109680 Long term Lease Liability 398164 507844 15107364 9139 9139 15098225 2734 2734 15100959 14876972 14876972 2734 2734 14879706 X X X false false false false false false false false false Robert Arellanes CEO 176952 52558 16509 246019 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b The Organizations Chief Operations Officer is responsible for the timely preparation of Form 990.
