Volunteer Testimonials

"Being a youth caregiver was one of the formative experiences of my life. It shapes my perspective on almost all things, for good, and regrettably, sometimes for bad. Volunteering with AACY has helped me turn even the traumatizing aspects of that experience to some positive benefit, both for me, and for the kids we support. It has been one of the most rewarding endeavors I've ever been a part of, and an experience I am deeply grateful for."

“Volunteering with AACY has been an eye opening experience for me. My newfound awareness to this at risk youth population has inspired me and reaffirmed my desire to work in the social work field. AACY has given me the opportunity to work closely with the youth and see how special each one truly is. It has also allowed me to see how much of a difference AACY has made in their lives. The youth involved in AACY are proud to be involved in this program and feel validated and supported in their caregiving responsibilities. I am honored to have spent time with not only the wonderful youth, but the kind staff.”
