NECESSITIES
Basic necessities are crucial for progress and change, and ACFFC makes sure that none of the youth in our program lack for any of these. We provide registration, school supplies, exam fees, tutors, tuition, food, clean water, and medical care for our students. All ACFFC participants and their families have a safe place to live. We partner with families to ensure that our children and young adults have what they need to succeed.
ART FOCUS
ACFFC uses art to inspire our students to be independent, productive members of society. We believe that the self-sufficiency learned through competency in art is invaluable. Youth in our program learn to become master artisans, painters, photographers, and mosaic artists. Through art, they are changing the face of their home city, Jacmel. The arts are helping create their future.
COMMUNITY
ACFFC youth have compassion at their core. Our youth are leaders. Their families have learned with them and from them. They have impacted their city community and are actively involved in positive change for their country. Through international visitors, travel abroad assisted by ACFFC, and connection through the virtual world, our youth have been able to join the global community as well.
EDUCATION
The school system in Haiti is not free, and many children there are not able to attend due to costs. ACFFC ensures that all of our students attend school. We pay for registration, school supplies, exam fees, tutors, and tuition. ACFFC also has its own after-school curriculum, which includes critical thinking, creativity as a process, community service, collaboration, environmentalism, and social justice.
