Zeitgeist Community Learning Center

(ZCLC) is an innovative non-profit corporation providing free after-school and summer programs to elementary and middle school students in the Crenshaw District of Los Angeles.

Zeitgeist means the spirit of the times. At ZCLC we are trying to capture that spirit and shape it into a positive force that affects the entire Los Angeles community.

ZCLC not only offers a safe place for students to come during non-school hours in a neighborhood noted for gang activity, but also trains high school mentors to provide homework help and act as positive role models for the younger students in a variety of enriching activities.

ZCLC also offers weekend workshops for parents such as Navigating through the LAUSD Magnet Program: Being an Advocate for your Child, and  How to Protect your Child from Predators.  For our students, there's math and money workshops and special gatherings for our former students who are now in middle school and high school.

Zeitgeist helps me to finish all of my homework.  They also help me with my writing, math, spelling and yoga.  When I first came here, I didn't want to be here.  I didn't want to to come here because I didn't think they would help me.  But when I saw the mentors and Ms. Robin help the other kids,  I got help too.  That's why I like Zeitgeist.

ZCLC receives $10,000 grant from the Jewish Community Foundation. Established in 1954, the Jewish Community Foundation is the largest manager of charitable assets and the leader in planned giving solutions for Greater Los Angeles Jewish philanthropists. The Foundation currently manages assets of $790 million and ranks among the ten largest Los Angeles foundations (based on assets).  In 2007, The Foundation and its 1,200-plus donors distributed $77 million in grants to more than 1,700 organizations with programs that span the range of philanthropic giving.  

ZCLC welcomes Spirituality for Kids (sfk.org) this summer. SFK teaches kids tools for life to end the cycle of conflict for children at risk-emotionally, physically, and spiritually.  It begins by teaching the tools that will help them realize their full potential and change the course for them and future generations.

Swim-a-thon

Thanks to the Zeitgeist Committee for raising $40,000 (and counting). We had a great time at Pierce College's swimming pool watching Viewpoint School students swimming to support our programs. WAY TO GO! Your selfless work continues to bolster our mission to educate and inspire our students.
