The organization offers a variety of services including the Human Services Network which links clients with a wide variety of needed services they would otherwise find difficult to receive. SACA’s educational center, La Academia, works to keep young people in school and to encourage high school dropouts to complete their high school education.

AmeriCorps members will work as teaching assistants and teacher aides assisting in after school programs, working with students in workforce development activities, as well as career exploration activities. SACA’s AmeriCorps members will serve as coordinators to expand the involvement of parents in the school and the enlargement of a volunteer effort to serve the needs of the local youth. Members will also serve as tutors and mentors in intensive summer school programs and activities helping students with language development and homework assistance.
