Introduction

The Alliance of Community Assistance Ministries, Inc. (ACAM) is a nonprofit management support organization fostering innovative collaboration through a diverse network of 100 nonprofit and community organizations to advance community-wide solutions through collaboration to strengthen the social safety net in Harris, Fort Bend, Waller, Brazoria, Galveston, and Montgomery Counties. ACAM’s 15 Core Members are public charities that share “assisting those in crisis” as a central part of their missions and are uniquely positioned to identify, engage, and provide critical services to at-risk families.

• Scaling career and educational pathways for young adults 16-24 years old who are neither working nor in school
