Classes and Help
Our New Americans Centers located at Central Library, Pacoima, Junipero Serra, Pio Pico Koreatown, Benjamin Franklin, and Wilmington offer free help sessions and classes on a variety of topics during select hours. All sessions are free and open to everyone.
We will be adding more classes and help sessions, so regularly check the schedule for new events.
