LAYC Community Schools

The LAYC Community Schools Consortium includes the LAYC Career Academy, Next Step/El Proximo Paso, and YouthBuild Public Charter Schools, all of which provide GED and job training for youth ages 16-24.

We have come together to create a coordinated effort to strengthen the delivery of health, mental health, dental health, and wellness/physical fitness services for enrolled students in order to enhance academic success. Community Schools also addresses student engagement and absenteeism through a variety of youth leadership development activities, including an Annual Youth Leadership Retreat.
