Friends of Canfield Programs and Activities
Los Angeles Unified School District does not provide the resources or funding for many of the programs that are critical to the quality of our children's education. Therefore, Friends of Canfield, comprised mainly of Canfield parents, creates, sponsors and funds as many of these programs as possible. When you support Friends of Canfield by donating your time and money, you are directly contributing to your child's educational experience.

Among the programs sponsored by Friends of Canfield are SHINE, a mentoring and tutoring that supports student's academic needs, Poetry-in-Motion, student poetry workshops that culminate with students performing their poetry; and the Spring Musical which provides over 150 students with the opportunity to learn about theater and present an outstanding performance.
