Who We Are
PCA Youth Center is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with adult and student volunteers.
The PCA Youth Center inspires leadership and a love of community service among children by promoting cultural exchange across diverse communities, providing kids opportunities to help underprivileged populations, and encouraging youth to become advocates for social equalities. We create hands-on workshops and interactive forums on a wide range of topics, all of which are dedicated to create and improve opportunities to develop kids’ interests, building the foundation for their independence, as well a passion for community service. Current and past projects include fund raising and donation of more than 300 books for 13 school and community libraries across Pittsburgh, preparing meals for the sick and homeless, hosting career forums and mentorship events for kids, volunteering for community projects such as tree and flower planting for community spaces, providing free art and cultural workshops for kids, and promoting Asian American culture and heritage through various festivals.
