Our Impact
We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to thrive, regardless of their zip code.
It was the dance program that attracted me but then I stuck around because there were so many opportunities and being at APCH was shaping and building my identity. I would see black and brown women who were educated and getting their higher degrees. Now in graduate school, when I am nervous to speak, I look back and remember all those people who believed in me, and I know I have to speak up. I got courage from APCH.
