"Change is possible."

That's the philosophy driving Angel Solis, director of our ACES violence prevention program, and it's backed by science. Neuroplasticity tells us the brain can rewire itself. This capacity is most powerful during adolescence, making it a once-in-a-lifetime window to redirect a young person's path.

ACES is there when it matters most. Help keep that work going. Donate by June 30. www.cases.org/donate

"If I could do it, anybody could do it."

Angel graduated from ACES. Now he wants to be its director someday.

This is what we mean by potential over punishment.
