From an introverted teen to an aspiring physical therapist... Former AACI client Sarah Dang's story is about her journey to self-confidence and community. ❤️ Sarah's move to California as a teen brought isolation, but AACI's BOOF program changed everything. It built her confidence and connected her to a vital community. While college brought new challenges, Sarah remembered valuable skills from AACI and sought similar groups to rebuild her support system. During this time, she also returned to BOOF as an advisor, where she rediscovered her sense of belonging. Now, a Kinesiology graduate pursuing physical therapy, Sarah's path is fueled by a desire to help others. Sarah encourages overcoming adversity through genuine conversations, believing "it opens doors to questions and knowledge about things you've always wanted to do". Her journey proves the power of community and courage. Sarah is ready to make a positive impact, carrying forward the lessons of connection and communication. 👏 AACI's youth programs have changed names and forms over the years but continue to focus on providing healthy alternatives to youth facing difficult circumstances and influences.

Today is César Chávez Day! 📣 César Chávez was an inspiring civil rights activist and community organizer who championed the rights of Latinos, farm laborers, and the environment. He used his voice to bring attention to the struggles of those who were often overlooked or marginalized, and he worked tirelessly to make a positive difference in their lives. With his nonviolent tactics, Chavez co-founded the National Farm Workers Association (NFWA) and organized migrant farm workers in California. He proved that one person can make a difference, and that change is possible when we stand up for what is right. 👏 At AACI, we believe in recognizing the impact of those who have dedicated their lives to creating positive change in our society. We honor the legacy of César Chávez by observing the state holiday created in his honor. As such, AACI's offices will be closed today, March 31st, and will reopen on Tuesday, April 1st. We hope this time can be used to reflect on the inspiring work he did to promote social justice and advocate for the rights of farm workers.
