Long Beach Free School
Everyone a student; everyone a teacher. With the whole city as our campus, we promote the value of lifelong learning by providing an unconventional educational system for a diverse set of subjects. This is a way for you to share your experience and knowledge with others. Anyone can teach a class on something they know well. Anyone can attend a class. Learn a musical instrument, foreign language, art, craft, sport, or new skill. Enroll or teach a 6 week class on any subject you're interested.

Long Beach Time Exchange
The Long Beach Time Exchange is a place where you can exchange services and skills for time instead of money. It's a great way to build community as everyone offers their volunteer time to each other while banking time credits.
