CRLA provides dynamic community work, which allows us to impact the community in and outside of the courtroom. With help from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, CRLA has expanded its education clinics and workshops. CRLA’s Education Ambassadors Workshops aim to provide parents and students the latest information on education laws in a way that promotes leadership development in addressing education equity issues.
On January 25, 2017, CRLA’s Rural Education Equity Program Community Worker Leoda Valenzuela led an education workshop in Oxnard. Thirty community members learned about how the law can be used to protect students from bullying and the impact bullying has on students enrolled in alternative education programs.
