Long Beach Peer Education Community Center

A nonprofit organization

Peer Education Community Center (PECC) began with a conversation between like-minded friends discussing resource and navigation gaps in Long Beach communities. Inside this conversation was the million-dollar question: how can ordinary people lead the charge toward community-centered systemic change? Driven by our founders, who come from diverse backgrounds in service, public health, leadership, development, and human resources, the origins of PECC came together.

PECC currently focuses on Harm Reduction, Homelessness Advocacy & Outreach, Support Groups, and LifeSkills Education
