OUR HISTORY: The African American Cultural Association (AACA) is a non-profit organization founded at Kirtland AFB in 1985 with a goal of promoting ethnic pride and educational development in our youth within the Albuquerque area.
OUR MISSION/GOAL: Working in association with the Albuquerque Public Schools (APS), the African American Cultural Association’s mission and goal is to give academic, cultural and social support to children in grades K-9, who are from low-income families in the greater Albuquerque area. These students are at-risk for academic failure and behavioral issues that affect of the community as a whole. Through our Community Academic Initiative Resource (C.A.I.R.) we are able to align students’ academic needs for improvement in math, language arts and science with APS standards, as well as Health/Wellness, Drugs/Alcohol and Life Skills Training.
