Page 2 July 10, 2014 Mychal’s Learning Place Looks to Future as Programs Expand to Adults By Brian Simon Twelve years after its humble beginnings in a Hawthorne church with just four staff members and 16 students, Mychal’s Learning Place has grown to now provide services for over 100 children and young adults in a 10,000-square foot facility on Rosecrans Avenue it moved into in 2011—and has become a community and South Bay fixture with supporters far and wide. Ed Lynch originally founded the center as a way to create programs to enable youth with developmental disabilities to live independent, fulfilled and productive lives. He named it Mychal’s Learning Place after his daughter who passed away in 1996 at the age of seven. “Mychal was born in 1988 and at the time, her mother was involved with the adult day program group LA GOAL and I started volunteering with the Special Olympics—though I questioned why I was working with this population,” Lynch recalled. He would soon have his answer. Though Mychal initially appeared to be normal, by the age of two it became clear that she was developmentally and physically disabled. Given only a couple of years to live by doctors, she managed to fight on for another five and a half before finally losing her battle. “Mychal’s spirit was amazing,” Lynch noted on his website. “She taught me so much about life and the importance of today and, sadly, about the lack of resources, programs and services available to parents of children with developmental disabilities.” Six months after Mychal’s death, Lynch jumped at an opportunity to run an after-school program for special needs in Hawthorne and did so until 2002. The experience provided him with the tools and skills to get to the next level. “I wanted to do more than what we were doing and I always knew I would eventually start my own program,” Lynch said. “Four days before I opened, the other program closed its doors and all the families moved to Mychal’s.” Raising the start-up monies was not an easy task, but Lynch received a major lift from none other than rock and roll legend David Bowie. “He signed a guitar and donated it… and then his organization designed our logo and put up our first website,” Lynch said. “That really got us going.” Today, Mychal’s Learning Place boasts a staff of 24 with programs that include sports and fitness classes, gardening, computers, music and dance, karate and bowling. A second site opened in Culver City in 2006. Though initially geared towards middle and high school kids in the 13 to 18 age range (the facility is technically licensed for children as young as eight), Mychal’s launched a new adult program called “Path to Independence” for ages 18-30 in June 2013 focusing on independent living skills and job training. “We teach them cooking, on-the-job training, community integration, shopping, doing laundry, computer skills and maintaining personal hygiene with the goal to move them out of the program,” Lynch said. “They go to the market on Monday, buy their own food, go through self checkout and then prepare lunches and clean up after themselves. They do what you and I do. These are skills and tools to give them more choices as they get older.” Lynch initially thought the adult program would primarily focus on job training, but it turned out that teaching basic life skills rose to the forefront. “Just their being able to maneuver through the community is very limited, but we know they’re capable and able, he said. For the job-training element, Lynch established partnerships with several businesses allowing the students to go out into the community for internship work. The list includes International Garden and Floral Design Center, El Segundo Museum of Art, Murad, and Centinela Feed and Pet Supply. Modernica, a Downtown Los Angeles furniture store, is expected to be the first company to officially hire a Mychal’s student. Additionally, Kinecta Federal Credit Union provided students with bank accounts to help foster budgeting skills. “We’re looking to build relationships with businesses,” Lynch said. “Participating in these internships doesn’t mean that’s what these students want to do for work, but they can build the skills and confidence to interview, understand being on See Mychal's, page 4 dba@heraldpublications.com public notices legalnotices@heraldpublications.com PUBLISH YOUR PUBLIC NOTICES HERE ABANDONMENTS: $125.00 ABC NOTICES: $125.00 DBA Fictitious Business Name Statement (Fictitious Business Name): $75.00 2014163853 The following person(s) is (are) doing business NAME as OUTDOOR CHANGE: NATIVITY STORE. 13919 $EUCALYPTUS 125.00 AVENUE, HAWTHORNE, CA 90250 L.A.
