Program Services
Community Outreach & Partnerships
AHCP participates in local school events, community fairs, and partner programs to bring resources directly to families. We collaborate with schools, nonprofits, churches, and city organizations to offer presentations, distribute essentials, and educate families in a supportive and welcoming environment.
Education & Support Services
Our Community Education & Support Program offers free workshops, classes, and group sessions designed to support families in building confidence, learning new skills, and connecting with others in a welcoming and judgment-free environment.
We believe that learning happens in community, and everyone deserves the chance to grow, ask questions, and feel supported.
