California law AB 800 requires high schools to teach students their rights as workers. We have the curriculum to support teachers and students as they engage in Workplace Readiness Week during the first week of May.

California’s Future is Clocked In: The Experiences of Young Workers is a report created by the UCLA Labor Center with the support of the Stuart Foundation. The report examines the critical contributions of young people in our state’s economy and the realities they face in the workforce.

Our goal is to empower students to channel their passion for justice into collective action, through promoting nonviolent strategies to advance human dignity at local, state, and national levels.
