African American Cultural Association

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.
