Provider Description

Whether you know us as "extension," "continuing education," "community education," or "lifelong learning," we represent a 3rd type of educational offerings community colleges in California can do besides classes "for-credit" (for degrees and certificates and with financial aid possible), or free, "noncredit" courses for basic skills development and career training.

In a nutshell, Community Services offers classes, events and other offerings for just about anyone in the community - old or young, resident or not, training for a career or just looking to have a good time. Our offerings are not-for-credit (no transcripts, degrees or CA Community College Certificate programs), and are 100% supported by fees or donations/contributions. We're kind of like public TV or radio, but the education version!

We help folks learn a skill, try out new things and connect with LACC and our neighbors in an educational setting.

Community Services Mission

To provide a wide array of student and community-supported classes, workshops, seminars, excursions, recreational and other offerings to all members of the community. We aim to contribute to the physical, mental, moral, economic and civic development of our surrounding community and in doing so, foster a sense of community and neighborhood.

Community Services strives to achieve the following program outcomes:

  • Provide a broad range of offerings that contribute to the development of the surrounding community
  • Employ qualified instructors with knowledge or skills specific to their topic of instruction
  • Provide flexible, individualized offerings for entities or individuals upon request
  • Provide instructional space that facilitates an effective, safe, and enjoyable learning environment for our offerings
  • Deliver auxiliary support offerings for LACC's credit and non-credit programs and for student support services

Los Angeles City College Mission

    Abdul was absolutely lovely — incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about soap making. The class was so much fun, and I came away with a beautiful variety of soaps. I can’t wait to see how they turn out once they’ve dried!

    Raven V. • May 13, 2025
    I found these classes to be a great way to add some movement to my routine and learn tennis skills in a low pressure and friendly environment.
  • Painting with Watercolors

    Anonymous • May 13, 2025
    The Instructor, Izzy, broke down sketching and painting techniques into simple to understand steps that were also easy to execute. Izzy spent a lot of time with each student providing feedback and suggestions. I was amazed at what I was able to produce in just a couple of classes. When asked by friends and family to see my finished pieces I was happy to show them off.
  • Gymnastics for Kids (Ages 5-12)

    Jordan J. • May 3, 2025
  • Ikebana: The Japanese Art of Flower Arrangement - Level 1: Introduction

    Marisa L. • April 18, 2025
    I had such a great experience. Gloria was super attentive and passionate about the art, which made each class feel really intentional and inspiring. I learned so much and still practice ikebana regularly, it’s become such a meditative part of my routine. Every week we worked with different flowers and explored various ikebana styles, which really helped me slow down, be more observant, and appreciate the little details.
  • Chinese for Kids (Ages 7-12)

    Nayeli S. • April 18, 2025
    My 7yr old daughter really enjoyed her Chinese class with Ms. Jenny. Not only did she enjoy it but she also learned a lot. Ms. Jenny also took extra time to explain to me how I can help my daughter at home. Really grateful that these classes are available for my daughter.
