Youth Initiative Grant

ACS has been serving communities within the NAD for the past 50 years.  While this work will continue, we would like to encourage those 40 and younger to join us in this valued ministry.  We hope to include this group in the services we are involved in a focused way.  Additionally, we encourage our ACS leadership to work with other ministries within the church and other groups to include governmental and nongovernmental partners that have shown interest in collaborative efforts.
