Our staff showed up and showed out today for our CAC Staff Olympics! From egg races to tug-of-war, our staff brought the energy and laughter - here’s to the people who make this mission possible each day. A big thank you to Kona Ice for helping us cool off after our festivities! 🍧

June is National Reunification Month, and we want our community to know that families can heal and come back together! In fiscal year 2025, our CASA program had 23 reunifications. This is always our first goal whenever safe, and in a child's best interest! 💙

We are excited to welcome Emily Carrisalez to CACGWTX and our Hope House Team as a Family Support Specialist! Emily interned with CPS earlier this year and worked closely with our MDT and CAC services as well. Welcome, Emily!

Congratulations to the Class of 2026! ✨🎓

We celebrate all of the hard work, determination, and bright futures of graduates across our communities. Watching these young minds learn, grow, and reach new milestones gives us hope for the future and reinforces our commitment to ensuring every child has the opportunity to thrive in a safe and nurturing environment!

Please join us in congratulating some of our staff's kids as well:
Army Warrant Officer, Holden Majors - Army Flight School
Matthew Ybarra - Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from ASU

Last week, our CAC staff, partners, and families came together for our annual Family Picnic. It was an evening full of laughter, fun, connection, and time spent outside the office! Moments like these remind us of the incredible team behind our mission.

Together, we're building stronger relationships, stronger communities, and brighter futures for the children we serve.

We invite you to join us on June 25th for our Family Services Parent Cafe at CAC! This is a safe environment where parents and caregivers of children can talk about the challenges and victories that come with raising a family. Childcare will be available! Please RSVP to Cicely Ybarra by June 18th. 😎

We hope to see you there!
