Putting Caregiving Youth on the Map
November 9, 2025 | We’re proud to see this important conversation featured in the Boca Raton Tribune. The article, “Putting Caregiving Youth on the Map,” by Marci Shatzman, shines a light on the young people who provide care for family members with chronic illness, disability, or age-related needs — often while balancing school and growing up themselves.
As the only organization in the U.S. dedicated to identifying and supporting Caregiving Youth, AACY continues to raise awareness so these students are no longer hidden in plain sight.
