La Escuelita

“Do it for the Kids.”

La Escuelita is a UCSB student organization that has been serving the Isla Vista and Goleta community for close to forty years, making it one of the oldest Latino-based organizations in the university. The organization’s primary objective is to enrich youth education in the UCSB community and ultimately motivate them to pursue a higher education degree. Throughout the year, the organization plans four main events: Safe Halloween, Thanksgiving Dinner, UCSB Talent Exposure and an educational Parent Conference. Our Safe Halloween event provides fun and safe activities for children of all ages. Our Thanksgiving Dinner is an event for Isla Vista families to feast and enjoy entertainment, prepared and hosted by the organization’s volunteers. Our UCSB Talent Exposure show is an entertaining showcase of UCSB student talent, and all profits raised are donated to a local non-profit organization, dedicated to serving local families. Lastly, our annual Parent conference entails multiple workshops that provide vital information to parents concerning their child’s education and available community resources. We offer free tutoring services, valuable fieldwork experience at our local schools to our members, frequent bilingual services, and much more. Anyone is welcome to join.
