Who We Are
Our program operates under Community Action of Orleans and Genesee, Inc., a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping individuals achieve self-sufficiency with dignity and respect.
Our Focus:
Guided by our agency’s mission, we focus on supporting adolescents between the ages of 11- 21 in Orleans & Genesee Counties though health education and interactive workshops and advocacy efforts.
We are not healthcare providers, but we are here to educate, connect, and support.
