My middle schooler was experiencing challenges over a series of months, which I was not told about. He was then kicked out of the program without any warning or chance to work to improve.

I recently coordinated and managed a volunteer project to install and donate materials/services for two disc golf baskets and discs here. The staff at ACS was more than happy to allow us to do this and were gracious to accept our donation. Overall, the purpose of the staff here is to care for the well being of kids in the Austin area. Some of these kids may come from a challenging home life, no family, limited economic status, and so much more.. but day in and day out the staff do their best to advocate the care of all the kids. My project to help them with was to install disc golf equipment so that kids of all ages can have a fun activity to play while they are at the ACS. They have playgrounds and benches here, but that is only good for some of the little kids. The baskets that they allowed us to install and donate will benefit teenagers and kids of all ages. It will give them a physical activity of fun and sportsmanship that will last with them forever. I am thankful that the staff allowed for us to donate these items and allow us into their trusted and secure community. I cannot rate the ACS fully on their business needs, but I can rate them that they are exceeding all the needs of the kids they help.
