Centro de Actividades y Servicios Altruistas (CASA) has the purpose of providing a culturally sensitive environment where students and families are able to thrive academically and socially and feel empowered to broaden their horizons.  Our programs are determined by student, family, and community needs.  This includes a focus on increasing academic achievement, providing tools necessary to thrive in a diverse community, and being equipped to make informed decisions about their future and how it will benefit the community. We run an after school program during the school year that assists students with their homework, prepares them for the future, and provides experiences they otherwise would not have. We also work as liaisons between the student, their family and community resources. Our goal is to open doors to students and their families in a manner that allows them to embrace their culture along with opening up opportunities that may not have been available before.
