PACT (Peer Advancement Community for Teens) is first and foremost a community that guides disadvantaged youth toward academic success during the formative high school years. Our community 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 importance of the valuable information current university students possess to give back to and empower their community.

PACT tutors and mentors are devoted to helping our high school students with not only their academics, but with their more personal struggles and concerns. Focus is placed on honest, helpful, and available relationships between mentors and mentees. Every project undertaken by PACT is initiated with permanence and sustainability in mind. All projects are tailored toward building long term relationships between mentors and mentees and focused on meeting the needs of our students.

PACT members have the unique opportunity of tutoring and mentoring our high school students throughout the academic year, forming relationships in the classroom and during field trips to Universal Studios, camping trips to Malibu Creek State Park, workshops at the California Science Museum, and special events like TV and movie screenings. Such events are made possible by the funding provided by the UCLA Community Activities Committee, the UCLA Campus Programs Committee, and Champions USA.
