Mandarin Chinese teaches new language and culture. Academic exposure by taking the kids on field trips to college campus tours, historical sites, museums, travel, and career lectures by industry representatives.
Community Outreach
Volunteers and fundraising to support weekly programming and events. Community Outreach services extended through University Southern California, Riviera Country Club, Mountain Gate Country Club, USTA Foundation, and Aceing Autism. Sponsorships of children’s education and extracurricular needs through community service and neighborhood participation.
Eating Healthy
Reaching goals! Kids need to eat healthy, at times it is hard for inner city kids to afford healthy foods. The most affordable foods are usually processed foods and here at PBJTP we believe we can help kids to eat better with healthier habits. Our talented Chef Roman is helping us create a menu which is affordable and healthy for our community kids.
Come have fun while you LEARN, GROW & Be Yourself!
