Cultivating Resilience: OnCourse Program

At United Way of Acadiana, we take great pride in supporting The Acadiana Family Tree's OnCourse program, an invaluable resource providing FREE therapeutic care and counseling to at-risk children, many of whom are part of ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) families. Through our PACT Grants, we invest in building a stronger, more resilient community by nurturing the emotional well-being of our youngest members. The Acadiana Family Tree's dedication to empowering children with the tools to navigate life's challenges is truly commendable. We extend our sincere appreciation for their unwavering commitment to making a positive difference in the lives of these children and families. Together, we cultivate hope and strength, ensuring every child has the opportunity to flourish.
