A Letter from Our CEO Fifty years ago, PACE began with a simple idea: when people have access to economic opportunity, it can change the trajectory of their life and, in turn, strengthen entire communities. That founding belief has not changed, even as the world has transformed dramatically. Since PACE was founded in 1975, we have evolved alongside the communities we serve. What began with employment services for Los Angeles’ AAPI community has grown into a comprehensive network of programs that help

individuals,

families,

and

businesses

become

stronger

and

more

economically resilient. Half a century later, this past year proved why our work still matters. Los Angeles communities faced rising costs, a rapidly changing workforce shaped by new technologies, the continued aftermath of devastating wildfires, and increased immigration enforcement that disrupted lives and entire neighborhoods. Across our Employment, Education, Energy, and Business programs, we connected people to jobs, supported entrepreneurs, reduced the energy burden for countless families, and provided children with a strong start to their education. Together, these services embody PACE’s comprehensive approach to breaking down the economic barriers that keep people from achieving greater stability and opportunity. We are deeply grateful to the clients, employees, partners, funders, volunteers, and supporters who have made fifty years of service possible. And we are especially grateful to the communities who have trusted PACE to support them through the years. We celebrate our 50th anniversary knowing that the challenges facing Los Angeles will continue to evolve, and so will PACE. As we look forward to our next chapter, we hope you’ll join us as we continue to build on five decades of experience, meet new challenges with new ideas, and ensure that every Angeleno has the chance to build a more prosperous future. Aloha nui loa (much love),

Kerry Doi President & CEO, PACE 2


Our Story Founded in 1975 to serve the employment needs of AAPI communities in Los Angeles, PACE has spent five decades growing, adapting, and responding to the people and neighborhoods we serve.

Our Mission Pacific Asian Consortium in Employment (PACE) is a community development organization that creates economic solutions to meet the employment, education, housing, environmental, and business development challenges of low-income residents in the Pacific Asian and other underserved communities of Los Angeles.

Our Team

Fifty years later, our work has grown far beyond workforce development, bringing together programs in education, energy, and small business support that reach communities of all racial and ethnic backgrounds across LA. That evolution has reinforced something we’ve known from the beginning: combating poverty takes more than just providing people with jobs or services. It’s about empowering people with the resources, dignity, and power to achieve economic mobility and build a life on their own terms.

Our Service Area PACE’s administrative headquarters is located in Westlake, which houses PACE’s Business, Energy, Education, and Employment departments and TEACH-LA. PACE also operates 15 preschool sites across Los Angeles County and two satellite business development offices in Hollywood and El Monte.

PACE Administrative Headquarters Head Start/Early Head Start Sites

While serving all of LA County, PACE focuses on a primary target area spanning 51 zip codes, from the South Bay through Downtown and Central Los Angeles and the San Gabriel Valley.

Business Development Sites

Our Clients PACE primarily serves communities facing systemic barriers: approximately 81% of responding clients identify as ethnic minorities, and 97% are low-to-moderate income (LMI). These numbers underscore the individuals working to achieve economic mobility in a city where opportunities are not equally accessible to everyone. PACE closes that gap by providing the resources, support, and pathways people need to build a secure future on their own terms.

Looking Back: years of

PACE Fifty Years of Empowering Communities When PACE opened its doors in 1975, no organization in Los Angeles was dedicated to addressing the employment needs of the Pacific Asian community. PACE was founded to fill that gap, providing job placement and training to local AAPI residents. Fifty years later, PACE has grown far beyond employment, expanding into a comprehensive community development organization that serves communities of all backgrounds while remaining rooted in our AAPI history. From supporting AAPI refugees to revitalizing small businesses after the LA riots, PACE’s story is part of a broader legacy of resilience, history, and community activism. Today, we honor those who came before us by continuing the work of empowering communities through economic opportunity.

On September 30, 2025, nearly 500 community leaders, partners, and friends gathered at the historic Biltmore Los Angeles to celebrate PACE’s 50th Anniversary Gala. The evening brought PACE’s 50-year legacy to life through inspiring stories, cultural performances, and tributes to community leaders who embody our mission.

The History of PACE For more than a century, Asian American and Pacific Islander communities endured exclusion, racism, and the lasting effects of war and imperialism. By the 1960s, these experiences, along with broader civil rights movements and community-led models of mutual aid, galvanized a new generation of AAPI activists to organize for culturally responsive services and lasting change. These movements ultimately led to the creation of PACE.

AADAP Is Founded

PACE Is Founded

AAPI community leaders in Gardena founded the Asian American Drug Abuse Program (AADAP), pioneering culturally responsive, community-led services for youth and families.

With support from AADAP and funding from Mayor Tom Bradley’s office, the Pacific Asian Consortium in Employment (PACE) was established to address the employment needs of Los Angeles’ AAPI community.

PACE Is Incorporated PACE separated from AADAP and incorporated as an independent organization, creating a foundation for future growth and expansion.

PACE Launches Business Development Center

PACE Launches PACE Finance Corporation

PACE Celebrates 50th Anniversary

Following the 1992 LA riots, PACE launched its Business Development Center to help affected small businesses recover through counseling, technical assistance, and access to capital.

PACE launched PACE Finance Corporation (PFC), a certified Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI), to expand access to affordable capital for underserved entrepreneurs.

After 50 years of empowering communities, PACE continues to advance economic opportunity and create pathways to stronger, more prosperous futures.

The Future of PACE The goal of any nonprofit is to work towards a future where its services are no longer needed. While we continue to fight for a world where everyone can thrive without barriers to opportunity, continued economic hardship has made PACE’s work as urgent as ever. For over 50 years, PACE has served and supported low-income and underserved communities. As long as the need exists, PACE will be here, empowering communities and advancing economic opportunity for the next 50 years and beyond. 6


PACE Employment A good job can change the trajectory of a life. Since 1975, PACE Employment has helped Angelenos overcome barriers and access meaningful work that creates greater economic independence, stronger families, and more prosperous communities.

Everyone deserves the opportunity to build a career that supports the life they envision. For over five decades, PACE Employment has helped Angelenos make that opportunity more attainable: from developing skills and finding a first job to advancing into careers with greater stability and potential.


Closing the Medical Worker Gap Exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, LA’s healthcare sector continues to experience significant labor shortages. This is especially true for frontline positions, like nurse assistants, home health aides, and pharmacy technicians. To combat this, PACE Employment operates the Breaking Barriers and Creating

For the 2025-2026 program year, we exceeded our job placement goal by 161%, helping medical facilities receive qualified workers while helping more Angelenos find secure, sustainable employment in the medical field.

CLIENT IMPACT

Destiny’s Path to a Fulfilling Career Destiny was working in warehouses for most of her career. When she wasn’t working at a warehouse, she was a stay-at-home mom. As someone who didn’t complete high school, Destiny knew there would be qualification and experience challenges to overcome, but she still hoped for a fulfilling career as a nurse assistant. Destiny visited PACE’s WorkSource Center ready to find a path forward to her goal job. PACE connected her to a local medical facility, covered the cost of her nurse assistant training, and provided the support she needed to keep moving forward. After two months of dedication, Destiny completed the program and immediately began preparing for California’s Certified Nurse Assistant Exam. She passed the state exam and is now a licensed Nurse Assistant, beginning her full-time job as a CNA in May 2026. Destiny’s story is a testament to how determination, opportunity, and support can change a career trajectory and, ultimately, change a life. 8

CLIENT IMPACT Mirna & Oliver’s Shared Learning Mirna enrolled her son Oliver in PACE Education during a difficult time in her life. As a mother to a young child, she was navigating family responsibilities, personal challenges, and employment duties. Still, Mirna was determined to lay a pathway to success through education. Once Oliver was enrolled in PACE’s Head Start program, Mirna noticed a significant change in him. “He’s become more independent, more sure of himself, and a lot more eager to learn new things,” she says. Mirna is grateful to the teachers in Oliver’s life, stating that their patience, care, and support have helped Oliver feel safe and happy at school, contributing to his growth and confidence. Oliver’s confidence isn’t the only thing that has changed. Mirna, too, has experienced her own upward trajectory. She has diligently attended all 10 sessions of Abriendo Puertas, a parent leadership program offered at PACE. There she learned culturally relevant, research-backed lessons that strengthened her ability to support her family’s well-being, advocate for Oliver, and prepare him for success. Together, Mirna and Oliver are benefiting from highquality education and programming that reflects what makes PACE Head Start so much more than a school. It is a place where both children and their parents can learn, thrive, and become the best versions of themselves. 10

Los Angeles families have a higher energy burden compared to other families across the country, meaning they spend a greater share of their income on energy costs. Data from the U.S. Department of Energy shows that for low-income families in LA, that burden is 15%—more than double the national average for other low-income households.


Expanding Energy Assistance In 2025–2026, PACE Energy broadened the reach of its

CLIENT IMPACT

Creating a Safe, Warm Home for Fernanda Like many older adults, 93-year-old Fernanda is on a fixed income. Because of this, Fernanda has enough to get by, but not enough for any major housing repairs or replacements. So, when her furnace died, the first thing Fernanda worried about was, “How will I afford this?” Fernanda’s daughter, Sandra, connected with PACE Energy. From there, PACE staff drove out to Torrance to meet with Fernanda and assess the situation. They provided her with a brand-new furnace, providing her home with a reliable heat source once again. According to Sandra, PACE staff went above and beyond. Not only did they install a new furnace, but they also provided her with a new fridge, exhaust fan, microwave, and energy-efficient lightbulbs— all at no cost to Fernanda. Before wrapping up the project, staff shared different energy savings practices with Fernanda. “Staff was very patient and kind with my mom,” Sandra shared. Everyone deserves a safe, warm home. Thanks to PACE Energy, Fernanda’s home has updated appliances and a reliable HVAC system, creating a home she can enjoy and be comfortable in. With these energy-efficient updates, Fernanda will also benefit from lower energy bills, helping her fixed income stretch further. 12

From Student to Studio Owner: Charlotte’s Story Charlotte is the founder of Sorrel Studio, a boutique Pilates reformer studio in the Melrose/Fairfax area. While Charlotte brought years of experience in project management, vendor negotiation, and operations from her corporate career, Sorrel Studio was her first business venture and came with a new set of challenges. As she prepared to launch, Charlotte turned to PACE’s BusinessSource Center for guidance on startup costs, financial projections, expenses, and financing options. Working with a PACE business counselor, she developed a financial plan aligned with her goals and launch timeline, successfully securing a $45,000 loan. With a strong financial foundation, Charlotte completed the studio, opened its doors, and hired four employees. Today, Sorrel Studio continues to serve clients in the local community, a testament to what’s possible when a new entrepreneur has the right guidance, access to capital, and the confidence to turn a vision into a business. 14

Small Business Lending Made Accessible For many small businesses, traditional financing isn't always designed for the realities they face. CDFIs like PACE Finance Corporation help fill that gap by combining capital with the guidance and flexibility entrepreneurs need to build sustainable businesses. As Los Angeles businesses navigated the ongoing impacts of the January 2025 wildfires, workforce and economic uncertainty, and disruptions to customers, employees, and business operations, PFC expanded its lending activity across the region. In FY 2025–26, PFC deployed $5.1 million in loan funds, a 44.8% increase from the previous year and a 73.3% increase over two years. This investment helped create and retain 232 jobs, helping local businesses build resilience and sustain economic opportunity during a challenging year.

CLIENT IMPACT

A First-Time Business Owner’s Journey With support from PACE Finance Corporation, Sushi Boom LLC, led by Munkhnasan "Mike" Amarzaya, successfully acquired and launched operations of two Hissho Sushi grab-and-go kiosks inside Sprouts Farmers Market stores in San Pedro and Torrance. PFC supported the acquisition of the existing business operations, inventory, and initial working capital, giving Mike the opportunity to transition into business ownership after working as a sushi chef for seven years. As a startup buyer with limited collateral and no operating history under the new ownership, Mike faced challenges obtaining traditional financing. PFC offered Mike access to capital with individualized technical assistance, helping him navigate the acquisition, franchise training, documentation, and transition requirements. As Mike shared, "As a startup buyer with limited collateral, I could not have completed this acquisition alone. PFC worked closely with me to understand the transaction and give me a clear path to take over both locations and begin operating the business.” 16

Stop the Hate Creating Safer Communities Across California

Stop the Hate is a statewide network of 180 organizations working together to prevent hate, support survivors, and build safer communities across California.

TEACH-LA Empowering LA’s Emerging Educators & Littlest Learners

In 2024, PACE launched TEACH-LA, a workforce development initiative designed to address the shortage of early childhood education (ECE) workers in Los Angeles County. TEACH-LA connects aspiring and emerging educators with substitute positions in ECE centers, providing paid, on-the-job experience and pathways into the ECE workforce. This year, TEACH-LA served 51 zip codes across LA County, maintaining a pool of over 100 active educators that consistently exceeded a 95% staffing fulfillment rate. The program also expanded support for educators through Child Development permit guidance, transcript review, and application support, while strengthening relationships with childcare centers and early education providers across LA County. By helping ECE programs fill staffing gaps, TEACH-LA supports more consistent staffing and learning environments for young children while giving emerging educators opportunities to build experience in the field. Educators also receive competitive pay and individualized support as they work toward their professional goals. By connecting qualified educators with employment and career advancement opportunities, TEACH-LA is building a stronger ECE workforce while expanding access to quality early learning.

“Working at TEACH-LA has been such a rewarding experience. I’ve been lucky to be part of a place that truly supports its staff and where management is not only professional but genuinely caring. I am truly grateful for the kindness, encouragement, and trust I’ve felt here.”
