Whatever your age, when you join APCH, you bring amazing skills and abilities that may not be fully realized yet. Our smart, caring staff provides individualized attention to every member of our community, through which youth discover their interests, their talents – and their capabilities. It’s almost – almost – like magic, except there is a lot of hard work and focus involved. Check out our videos, or come on by and experience the love and the learning yourself.

That’s a wrap on GirlPower 2026! 💜

The theme for this year’s GirlPower Luncheon was “On the Shoulders of the Women Who Nurtured Us,” and our GirlPower teen mentoring cohort put on an amazing program highlighting the incredible female guardians in their lives.

We not only celebrated the young women in our GirlPower cohort - we also honored two incredible women, Marisa Eddy and Kristen Boggs Jaeger, who remind us of our power to change the world around us.

To everyone who came together to celebrate with us, thank you.

Will we see YOU next year?

This year’s Career Fair was a huge success!

Last week, we opened our doors to our members, families, and select partner schools to connect our community to valuable career resources, job opportunities, training pathways, and professionals across a wide range of industries.

Attendees were also able to visit our Teen Boutique to take home free formal and professional attire for job interviews, college interviews, prom, and other occassions to dress for success!

We are deeply grateful to those who donated their time and/or formalwear to make this event so special for the community. See you next year!
