Student Programs and Educator Resources
The Los Angeles Conservancy brings local history to life for students. We explore the role of people and places important to Los Angeles’ history through various interactive programs and online resources.
Through place-based learning, we empower young people to preserve Los Angeles’s past and evolving identity, and to connect to and share the unique histories of their communities.
Our free, student programs are designed for grades 3-12. We bring kids into the field, interacting with architecture and L.A.’s rich cultural landscape in a tangible way.
