Mission
PACE is a community development organization that annually serves over 40,000 low-income residents of the Los Angeles area by creating economic solutions to meet the challenges of employment, education, housing, the environment, and business development in the Pacific Asian and other diverse communities. Pacific Asian Consortium in Employment (PACE) was founded in 1976 to address the job training needs of the Asian Pacific Islander communities. With an initial grant from the City of Los Angeles, PACE began to offer job training and placement services. As PACE’s employment program grew, the most fundamental needs of these communities could not be adequately addressed simply through the provision of job training and employment services alone. PACE began to broaden its services and job creation programs and expand its outreach into the San Gabriel Valley and the South Bay areas of Southern California.
