PECC ROOTS
The Peer Education Community Center (PECC) was born from a conversation among like-minded friends who recognized the gaps in resources and navigation within Long Beach communities. At the heart of this discussion was a crucial question: How can everyday people lead the charge for community-centered systemic change? Guided by founders with diverse backgrounds in service, public health, leadership, development, and human resources, PECC emerged as a grassroots initiative dedicated to bridging these gaps and empowering the community.
