La Escuelita de la Comunidad was founded in 1984 and is a program in Pasadena that includes ESL, and Spanish Literacy classes for adults. La Escuelita has been the base and has maintain many of the new programs of the Institute. By using Popular Education as a tool and analyzing the problems of our people we have developed a curriculum which uses the major problems and necessities of our community to educate each other and organize the people in a search for alternative solutions.

The Program of La Escuelita maintains itself with the help of volunteers from UCLA, USC, Cal Poly-Pomona, Mt. SAC, E.L.A College, Pasadena Community College and Teens In Action (TIA). Anyone is welcome to volunteer as a facilitator or by making donations.
