Job Opportunities in United States

Every day after school, the L.A.C.E.R. Afterschool Programs provide middle school students with free opportunities in the arts, academics, and athletics. Our middle school programs are in four Los Angeles public schools, and the program serves over 1,000 students with a team of instructors, artists, coaches, and volunteers. The services L.A.C.E.R. provides make a significant difference for the families we serve. 84% are economically disadvantaged and do not have access to the high-quality programming L.A.C.E.R. specializes in, such as visual and performing arts, mathematics and English Language tutoring, college and career preparation, and organized sports for girls and boys. The L.A.C.E.R. programs began in 1995 and they are supported by Federal, State, City, and County funds, as well as Private Corporations, Foundations, and individual donors. L.A.C.E.R. also partners with other non-profits to provide specialized classes and opportunities to our student community.
