Reviews
"Outstanding workshops and great learning environment. It is definitely a place where anyone can come and grow in their creativity. It is a free space and unlike anything I've ever been too! Best people and not to mention studio time, a stage, computers etc."
"i love coming here because the people are welcoming and they try and keep me from doing bad things. Everybody here is a good influence on me and they make me feel like they really care and want whats best for me. I'm glad i started coming here because if i didn't i feel like i probably would have kept doing the bad things i was doing. Shout out to the PYFC!!"
"The PYFC has been a hub for culture in Santa Monica since its opening in 2002 , a great place for youth,that provides amazing service to help youth stay out of the streets. We need more cultural places like the PYFC in more low income neighborhoods , and their will be more social changes!"
"ME AND MY FAMILY LOVE THE PYFC! It is a safe loving environment that caters to our family and youth. Tupac's former manager and mentor Leila Stienberg does workshops every wednesday there for the last 20 years which are a nostalgic experience. When i need a place to go I go to the PYFC. They have an awesome film department, musical recording studio (TOP TIER) and a performing space that is something you have to experience first hand. Plus they have touch screen desktop computers that are available to everyone. All this is for free! THE PYFC IS A BLESSING!"
"PYFC serves Santa Monica youth of color who, in many cases, wouldn't be served otherwise. They do great work and help ensure all of Santa Monica's youth have the opportunity to thrive."
