Overview
The Community Scholars Program is a joint initiative
of UCLA's Department of Urban Planning and the Center for Labor Research
and Education that recognizes the important role that community and
labor leaders play in shaping community development policy in Los Angeles.
By bringing together labor and community leaders with
urban planning students to study issues in depth, the program provides
these community leaders with a forum in which to develop and further
skills required to influence policy.
The Community Scholars Program offers an opportunity
for community and labor leaders, regardless of their educational background,
to participate in a special applied research project seminar along with
graduate students for two academic quarters. The project always culminates
in a unique product designed by the Scholars and students. Students who
complete the program receive a certificate of completion from the UCLA
Urban Planning Department
The Community Scholars Program is free to selected
participants. Community Scholars receive the same access to faculty advisors,
library services, and other academic resources and privileges granted
to full–time students. Scholars are responsible for their own parking
and course materials
