Greetings!,

 

It is with great pride that I share with you the news that ACS served 5,394 teens and family members during the 2011/2012 fiscal year, through both direct services and extensive outreach and education efforts. Because of ACS, these thousands of adolescents increased their grades, decreased their feelings of stress, depression and isolation, ended their use of drugs and alcohol, and increased their psycho-social functioning.

 

We could not do the amazing work that we do without your continued and generous support in the form of: monetary gifts, in-kind donations or as a volunteer. Each one of you is a part of the fabric of this effective organization. I want to personally thank you for all you do for the teens in our communities and for being part of the ACS family of friends and supporters.

 

I look forward to continuing our partnership as we begin the 2012/2013 fiscal year. ACS' goal this year is to extend our services to even more teens and families in need. Particularly those within the new communities we will be serving in the coming months through our After-School Counseling Program's partnership with the Boys and Girls Club of the Peninsula and our On-Campus Counseling Program's expansion to Woodside High School.

                                            

Dr. Philippe Rey 

Sincerely,

 

Dr. Philippe Rey

Executive Director
