About Liberated Learning Community:
Liberated Learning Community provides resources and support for system-impacted, queer, trans, immigrant, and disabled young people— to co-create learning and healing sanctuaries. We provide learners access to transformational, youth-centered programs rooted in Land Stewardship, Art Healing, Holistic Wellness, and Resource Coordination.
This transformative model is shaped by the stated needs and interests of learners living in Los Angeles. We foster a safe space, access to mentorship, guidance, and opportunities that will inspire and nurture young people's creative spirit, and guide them in being agents of social change in their communities. Through trauma-informed and restorative praxis, learners engage in reciprocity with the cultural ecosystems they are a part of.
