Mission

To advocate for and empower our communities through a range of services, including assisting them in improving their mental and social health, promoting economic self-sufficiency, and creating a space for cultural well-being.

ACS multi-lingual and multi-ethnic staff deploy into the ethnic communities they both live in and serve.
