Calling all students, past and present -- did you have a creative arts teacher that made a lasting impact on your life? Maybe this person helped boost your confidence, or got you a music scholarship that helped pay for college. Maybe they pushed you to think uniquely or perhaps it was just had a kind word that's stayed with you over the years.
KPCC/LAist wants to hear your story for an upcoming project.
We'll read every response, but nothing is published without your permission.
One year ago, Congress voted to defund public media, eliminating a critical $1.7 million from our budget every year going forward. But they couldn’t silence us, and we’re not going anywhere. LAist is now 100% community funded and that means we’re taking our future into our own hands and turning to you to keep local reporting strong.

Instead, we answer to you and our communities. We are free to follow facts wherever they lead and to hold power to account without fear or favor. Our only loyalty is to our readers and listeners and our mission: to inform, engage, and strengthen Southern California’s communities.
