For over a decade, we’ve watched so many youth volunteers thrive through their service to the community. In every small act of giving back, they discover their own value and experience meaningful growth. Each one carries the spirit of service with them as they head off to college. CAAL continues to guide and support 20 youth volunteer programs, providing a strong platform for youth development. What’s most rewarding for us is seeing youth grow in confidence, smile more often, and develop into inspiring leaders!
