A Place Called Home Welcomes New Deputy Executive Director
15 Years Later, Erick Returns Home – with a Surprising Result
Erick Cabrera hadn’t visited A Place Called Home in 15 years. A unique opportunity to share his story before a live audience, combined with his passion for writing, brought this former APCH member back to campus in February 2020 with an unexpected result. Erick recently reflected on growing up in South Central, his experience over the past 15 years and APCH’s lasting impact on his life. We’re thrilled to share his reflection with you here:
Caring for ourselves while serving others: self-care during the pandemic
In the midst of the global coronavirus pandemic, the dedicated staff at A Place Called Home remain committed to our mission of serving South Central youth and families in need. While we’re temporarily away from our physical campus, we have worked hard to create a “virtual campus” to deliver our vital programs and services to our members online and by phone.
