As part of the Celebrating Words Festival, a collaborative effort with our partners Tia Chucha’s and the Arts Incubator by Pacoima Beautiful, some of our amazing students participated in the Dare to Learn! exhibit.

Through their personal narratives, in their own words and in their own writing, they describe their personal growth, finding healing and self-worth, and uncovering hidden talents and abilities during their journey of learning to read and write. They are a testament that it is never too late to reach your goal.
