HKA understands and values the importance of learning and how education can empower people of all ages and backgrounds.
Here is a collection of causes we have supported that champion life-long learning.
The Los Angeles Metropolitan Debate League (LAMDL), founded in 2008, is one of the nation's largest and most impactful urban debate leagues. They serve more than 600 LAUSD high school students with competitive policy debate programs, college and career prep services, monthly league debate tournaments, and a Summer Debate Institute. Their debate programs serve 35 high-need Los Angeles public high schools, and our partners include USC, Cal State Long Beach, Cal State Riverside, as well as dozens of law firms across Los Angeles.
On 20 May, HKA was proud to sponsor at the LAMDL’s “You Say You Want a Resolution.” You Say You Want a Resolution is Los Angeles Metropolitan Debate League’s year-end celebration, Public Debate, and fundraiser.
Mike Wallace, Partner, said, “It is a great organization that works in underserved communities to bring the intellectual rigor of public debate and civic awareness to students.”

Primary Engineer is a non-profit organisation that brings together teachers and engineers to engage primary and secondary pupils with engineering through projects mapped to the curriculum.
HKA was delighted to sign up to a Partnership with Primary Engineer.
Aside from a financial contribution to help ensure the organisation’s excellent work can continue, our colleague Michael Halliday attended a Primary Engineer training session at Dumfries & Galloway College. He worked alongside teachers to develop the basis of a project which saw primary school children compete by building shoe-box vehicles and motorised vehicles which will culminate in a judging day and a final celebration.
