For two consecutive Saturdays, United Way’s Emerging Leaders have volunteered their time to paint several murals at El Sereno Middle School in East Los Angeles. This past Saturday they finished the project, making the school a more beautiful learning environment for its students.
El Sereno is one of eight LAUSD schools that are a part of United Way’s Leadership Matters Middle School Pilot. Through the program, middle school principals and their leadership teams receive increased resources and technical assistance to prepare students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds for success in high school, college and beyond.
