Peer Advancement Community for Teens (PACT)

PACT is first and foremost a community that guides disadvantaged youth to academic success during their high school years. It seeks to uplift at risk, disadvantaged teens, giving them a chance to excel despite their economic circumstances. PACT is a university based organization and stresses the valuable information current students possess to give back to and empower their community. PACT members have the unique opportunity of tutoring and mentoring our high school students throughout the academic year, forming relationships inside the classroom and outside during field trips to UCLA, Universal Studios, camping trips to Malibu Creek State Park, workshops at the California Science Museum, and special events like TV and movie screenings.
