Our Programs

OCAAT is focused on four key program areas for the women and children we serve: Health, Education, Social Services, and Emergency Crisis.

Health

Life may be different for some parents, their life may present challenges and difficulties that no one knows. OCAAT is setting new goals to help them raising healthy children, healthy minds for a happier and brighter future:

Adapt and develop resources and tools that enable the implementation, monitoring, tracking and evaluation of equity within different programs and communities.
Present and publish findings at available forums.

Education

We will emphasize the impact of education on the children’s future to reach their maximum potential, as well as programs focused on behavior. We will develop a coherent approach to immigrants and refugees inclusion across our programs, prioritizing community partnerships and collective impact programming.

Social Services

Children face unprecedented challenges. Millions of children suffer hunger, homelessness and other threats to a healthy childhood. We believe that children deserve to grow happy and healthy. We are setting goals that will:
