After over two decades of serving the Central Los Angeles area, ECCLA is working with USC to provide educational resources. For more information, contact hollysim@usc.edu.

ECCLA will continue to connect K through 12 teachers in central and south Los Angeles with the best museums, college and community resources the city has to offer. We also organize four annual essay and scholarship contests each fall and spring, as well as a resource fair and awards ceremony for teachers. ECCLA serves a network 120 LAUSD, charter and parochial schools.

We develop professional relationships and partnerships with a diverse group of organizations that provide programming available to students and teachers in our service area. From the Natural History Museum to the Grammy Museum, and even USC Athletics, we receive a wealth of great information and opportunities. We work to pass these opportunities on to educators in our network so that students and teachers alike can take advantage of the resources available to them.
