Health Education
The Healthy Living Program is focused on empowering children in underprivileged communities to take control of their own health at the earliest age possible. Through a combination of cooking and fitness classes, children learn hands-on about the nutritional content of food and how diet directly impacts their health. Also, children are taught about the critical connection between diet, fitness, and school performance. Participants of this program will learn how to identify certain foods that have been scientifically shown to improve memory, learning, mood and behavior.

After School Tutoring & Mentoring
The LAHC understands the importance of additional academic assistance for youth intending to be successful students with high grades. Therefore, we have established a tutoring and mentorship program, to provide the youth of our community with a positive after school environment, enriched with intellectual growth and moral support. Youth participants work with university students and degree holding young adults, to obtain additional assistance and resources needed to gain knowledge and understanding on a wide range of subjects. Through tutoring, social and educational activities, participants of the program will be able to improve on areas of weaknesses, prepare for their future careers, as well as build a greater level of self-confidence.
