AACS has a wide variety of expertise and skills within the organization. Many members are retired professionals with decades of experience in business, industry and government. AACS uses these resources to assist other local area programs which may not have the staffing to effectively manage and maintain their programs. 

AACS has made its broad pool of experience available to local agencies that request it, especially in the areas of structured computer training and academic tutoring. Partnerships have been formed with local agencies in Bunnell and Palm Coast, such as the Carver Community Center and the Espanola Community Center, both run by Flagler County. Other partnerships exist with other youth and community organizations.

 

Third Eye- academic, computer and summer camp
The Third Eye Youth program is so-called because it encourages youngsters to look beyond current fads and fashions and think with their "third eye", i.e. use their minds to work hard, develop skills, appreciate the legacy of past generations, and engage in productive activities. On a practical level, Third Eye is designed to boost their academic performance and computer skills, and broaden their cultural horizons.
The project consists of 3 parts: academic performance, computing skills and the annual summer youth camp. Open to all youth of Flagler County. Call 447-7030 to sign up.
