Volunteer Testimonials

"A memorable and eye-opening month!"

"In going to ACAY, I thought that I was going there to teach others what I knew; however, I realized that I was there to be part of a family… I am amazed at how the sisters and staff understand each one of the youths’ situations and how they accompany them to a change of life. I realized that I was there not only to give of myself but also to learn how to look at others with compassion, how to give people a second chance."
