Learning Center
One of the greatest needs among people experiencing homelessness is education. Lack of education is a significant barrier to independence. But it’s a barrier we can help them overcome through instruction, inspiration, and motivation.
The Learning Center is a multimedia educational facility equipped with 30 online computer terminals and staffed by fully credentialed LAUSD Belmont Adult Day School instructors. Instructors help students develop an Individual Learning Plan and help them work toward their educational goals.
The Learning Center is available for all the men and women in URM’s recovery programs, as well as alumni of URM recovery programs.
We also provide additional vocational education and trade support, such as janitorial services certification, through programs offered from various community partners.
Academic and professional program services include:
- Microsoft (MOS) certification for Office software programs, including MS Word, MS Excel, and MS Access
- Basic math and English skills instruction
- Computer/typing literacy
- Graphic arts/design
- Business marketing & retail
- English as a Second Language (ESL) classes
