American Association of Caregiving Youth is Betting on the Kids

BOCA RATON, Fla. - Sept. 4, 2019 - PRLog -- Caregiving youth, children who fill adult-sized shoes as they academically and personally sacrifice to provide care for chronically ill, injured, elderly or disabled family members, are the beneficiaries of this event.  The American Association of Caregiving Youth (AACY) has served over 1,650 middle and high school students and their families just from the region of Boca Raton to West Palm Beach.

AACY has raised national awareness about the otherwise hidden, unserved and growing population of children who serve as family caregivers.  With support in school, out of school and at home from sixth through twelfth grades, children learn they are no longer alone, remain in school and graduate, often entering careers in healthcare.
