The Associates Council is constantly changing. So much so that it seems hard to keep up when you turn away for just a moment. We are a dynamic group of volunteer leaders inspired to make a positive impact in the lives of NYC kids, teens, and young adults, and our diverse passions and interests drive the AC forward in myriad directions.
Already this year we’ve partied in Union Square and learned about the “foster care to prison pipeline” and what one ambitious CAS center in the Bronx is doing to combat this tragedy. We’ll next tackle the housing crisis that has gripped the nation, clean up our schools and community centers, and wrap up the season with a Spring Fling celebration.
As stewards of the Children’s Aid Society, AC members are always ready to pitch in and answer CAS’s call for help. Often times, what CAS needs most is money to run its programs and support its children and their families. This has never been more true than now. Whether we’re reaching into our own pockets, hosting fundraisers for our friends, families, and colleagues, or reaching out to those who can donate in-kind goods and services, we’re always looking for fun and innovative ways to champion the spirit of CAS and ensure that every child has the opportunity he or she deserves to flourish.
The AC has something for everyone, and we welcome you to join us at any of our events or monthly meetings. We’ll see you soon!
Cheers,
Hannah Thonet
AC President
