All area High School students, middle school students, parents and community members are especially invited.

We have been engaging with advocacy activities in the past a few weeks nationally advocating for policies that help address some of the most pressing issues facing our community. Our special thanks to Honorable Senator Todd Young and Honorable Congressman Jefferson Shreve not only for hosting our delegation led by BACI President & CEO Elaisa Vahnie last week in Washington D.C. but also for their leadership and support. We look forward to deepening our substantive work together for the greater good.

During welcoming our summer interns, each of our team members had the opportunity to give the presentation of the services their respective programs have to offer to our community that make a difference in the lives of many every day.
