My Nonprofit Reviews

The Pacific Crest Youth Arts Organization is a wonderful organization that inspires its members to greatness, and shows them how to use their skills for positive impact for the self confidence needed to excel at a high level of excellence in individual and team performances. These High School and College student performers show a great commitment to themselves and to their leaders as well. Pacific Crest is run by very ethical and caring individuals who give up their time at basically no compensation. The performers and staff come from all over Southern California and some other western states and are together for approx. 8 months. The friendships made and life-long relationships established make the whole experience very worthwhile for Pacific Crest members. As one of the performers commented, “I not only joined a top-performing group, I learned that I had also joined one of the greatest types of families you could imagine.” Although the Pacific Crest members pay tuition, additional cost of up to $125,000 is required per year to offer this world class experience for Southern California’s youth performers. Pacific Crest solely supports itself by generous gifts and grants from the community and local and regional businesses, foundations and other donors. I can attest that every dollar is spent wisely and for the enrichment of these student performers. My daughter's experience in this group was more positive than words can express and the memories will be with her for a lifetime! She is now volunteering her time to assist with sales of group merchandise to group members and the general public at the performances, various camps and rehearsals.
