Accomplishments
The best measure of UCAN's accomplishments in the field of social services is the healing and growth our clients achieve. We would like to share these successes with you:
Here at UCAN we "pay it forward" by providing opportunities for our kids to give back and experience the joy of making a difference in the lives of others.
In our Residential Treatment Center, a unique Service Learning program brings them to local churches to serve the homeless and to nursing homes to visit with and engage with the residents.
Interns in our STARS (Striving to Achieve Realistic Success) program perform community service projects.
"When kids get a chance to do something for others, they realize how much power they have to do good and how much better off they are than they thought," says Reverend Steven Reid, who directs the Service Learning program.
