About Pomona Learning Loft

Pomona Learning Loft (“PLL”) is a nonprofit learning center established in February of 2024 as a branch of the Living Hope Foundation (“LHF”). PLL offers free tutoring, mentoring, and job readiness programs for K-12 students in the Pomona community. We also provide access to mental health support and promote digital inclusion through free public Wi-Fi, laptops, and tablets, available for job searching, homework support, and resume to help students succeed both in school and beyond.

Located at 260 E. 2nd Street, in the heart of Pomona’s historic Antique District. This central location ensures both visibility and accessibility, making it easy for local students and families to participate in our programs. The space is intentionally designed to foster learning, belonging, and connection.

As part of its Economic Development Vision (EDV), PLL has engaged with residents, parents, and local business owners to better understand the needs of the Pomona community. These ongoing conversations have directly shaped our programming and reinforced our commitment to equity, access, and neighborhood revitalization.

With deep roots in the neighborhood and a vision shaped by those we serve, Pomona Learning Loft is building a future where every student has the tools and support to thrive.
