Pico Youth & Family Center

Pico Youth & Family Center Promoting Peace, Unity and Social Justice Through various services and caring staff support we bring hope to the lives of youth.

Pico Youth & Family Center (PYFC), a nonprofit organization based in Santa Monica, is committed to preventing youth violence. We serve hundreds of youth annually, ages 14-24 who are most at risk, through case management, counseling, tutoring, job readiness training, leadership development, music, art and computer training. The PYFC is a positive alternative to the streets for many of Santa Monica’

s youth and young adults who seek guidance, support and service. Our Mission is to equip disenfranchised youth and their families with the leadership and advocacy skills needed to strengthen and sustain the community in which they live. To promote peace, unity, and social justice by modeling cooperation and advancing educational and economic opportunity Through creative programs we will work to instill hope in our youth by engaging them in creating solutions to our community’s problems. Studies have shown that youth violence prevention programs are most effective in the after school and evening hours. We need your help to keep the doors of educational and economic opportunity open for future generations.

PYFC youth traveled across the state and achieved visiting six college campuses 🎓✊🏽 — and we brought the culture with us.

UC Berkeley 🐻 · UC Davis 🐄 · UC Santa Cruz 🐌 · UC Santa Clara 🦁 · Stanford 🌲 — and San Francisco for some sightseeing 🌉

Handling business. Because our youth don’t just dream about the future — they move to the beat of it. 🎶

This spring, PYFC is growing something real in Santa Monica and Los Angeles County. 🌱

“Si se puede, yes we can” is a chant coined by Dolores Huerta in 1972. In that spirit our youth created this PSA to honor her legacy and recognize the power of youth voices in all important crisis dialogues and decisions. Moving forward, March 31st is Farmworkers Justice Day!

Listen to the youth, we stand with the survivors, it ends with us!
