About
Parents, Educators/Teachers, and Students in Action (PESA) is a non-profit organization, operating for over 10 years, dedicated to helping the greater Los Angeles community through family supportive services, youth education and financial empowerment programs. PESA was recognized as the Nonprofit of the Year in 2021 by the California State Legislature. All staff and interns are members of the community, many of whom grew in the area that PESA serves. PESA established its headquarters in Panorama City in 2015, and it has been providing services to residents of Los Angeles County since then. PESA has focused its services on the BIPOC community and lower socio-economic residents of this community, helping them break the chains of poverty and access economic opportunities.
