Reaching Out to Help Our Communities
At Armenta Learning Academy, we
believe that with success comes responsibility.
Successful people create successful communities
by giving of their time, effort and expertise to
programs and organizations that are working to make
our world a better place. Whether is it a local
effort of beach clean up, or a National organization
like Second Harvest everything we do to help makes
it that much better for everyone. Below are listed
some of the organizations that ALA supports.
Families Forward is a nonprofit agency dedicated
to helping low income and homeless families in need.
Families Forward addresses families' needs at any
point in their crisis by providing a broad spectrum
of services, including: housing, counseling, food,
education, case management, life-skills training
and rent and utility assistance.
Kids Konnected's mission is to provide friendship,
understanding, education, and support for the children
who have a parent with cancer, or have lost a parent
to cancer. Children facing the same fears and similar
experiences can be helped by others in a similar situation.
Kids helping Kids is what we're all about. With "Kids
Konnected" you don't have to be alone anymore!
The Joyful Child Foundation's first initiative, Samantha's
PRIDE, is a community awareness and child watch program,
focused on protecting and sharing the joy of childhood.
Additional goals of the Foundation include the implementation
of after school programs, and the support of other
nonprofit organizations in the prevention of child
abuse and abduction.
Olive Crest was founded in 1973, and today, over 30
years later, Olive Crest has grown to become a leader
in the prevention and treatment of child abuse. They
serve children from birth to age 18, young adults
age 18-22 and at risk families. Each day, there are
over 600 youth residing in Olive Crest homes, and
it is their goal to provide each child/teen a sense
of hope and enthusiasm as they begin the upcoming
school year. Your contribution to Olive Crest's Education
Fund or "Back to School" Gift Drive can
help a child reach their dreams.
We are proud to announce a group newly added to our
support family.
The Pacific Marine Mammal Center is a nonprofit
organization dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation,
and release of marine mammals stranded along the
Orange County coastline and to increasing public
awareness of the marine environment through education
and research.
The PMMC is our Summer School outreach recipient.
However, we will accept donations year round for
this worthy cause.
In addition to these organizations, ALA also participates
in the Mission Viejo Walk Against Drugs in October,
Jackets of Love which collects jackets for the homeless,
Operation Thank You to support our troops and local
beach clean up to help keep our beaches beautiful
for everyone.
We are always interested in learning of and supporting
groups that our students and their families are
involved in. If you have a group you support and
would like to share with us, give us a call or send
an e-mail and we will be happy to learn about your
group.
