The UCLA Labor Center is the only university-affiliated center of its kind. Only at the Labor Center will you find car wash workers discussing work conditions, students supporting health access for immigrants, and black worker leaders mobilizing for good jobs—all under one roof. The Labor Center is truly a place that brings the university to the public and inspires a new generation of activists and leaders. Get involved!

Become a Community Scholar
The Community Scholars Program is a joint initiative of UCLA’s Department of Urban Planning and the UCLA Labor Center that recognizes the important role that community and labor leaders play in shaping community development policy. Every year the class convenes graduate-level students with community, labor, and city leaders to address a current issue or policy theme in Los Angeles. The class takes place winter and spring quarters, and the application process occurs in the fall.
