UPAC: Alliance for Community Empowerment (ACE) Program

Alliance for Community Empowerment (ACE) Program was created to address the effects of community violence, strengthen the family, and empower the community. All services aim to create stronger family bonds, reduce delinquent behavior, and advance community respect. All programs are free and target San Diego’s central region.

Services:

ACE has two primary components. The first are Mobile Response Teams that provide support, assistance, and linkages to families that have been affected by community violence. The second are direct services designed for both youth and adults such as: Leadership Academy (ages 12-17), Teen and Parent Empowerment groups (ages 12-17 and parents), Strengthening Families (ages 10-14), Grief Support (adults), and various Gang Education and Prevention workshops throughout the year.
