When you’re this big and this good, people notice.

LA’s BEST is recognized as one of the nation’s top afterschool programs.

We have been featured in leading publications including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and USA Today.

Every day there are noteworthy accomplishments — big and small — and exciting news. From one child figuring out how to keep a marshmallow tower standing with one more marshmallow, to our Chief Operating Officer receiving the California Expanded Learning Visionary Leadership Award.

Please also visit our Advocacy page for updates on our advocacy efforts.
