Join the ARCC Team

Since 1974, ARCC’s behavioral health & educational support programs have served as a lifeline for many under-resourced youth (age 0-25) and families in Santa Clara County, with a focus on their founding region of East San Jose. The agency serves an extremely low-income, predominantly Latino (85%) population, including a large number of immigrant families, where caregivers are monolingual Spanish-speakers and/or where at least one adult is undocumented, making it difficult for them to navigate the educational and healthcare systems. As a result, without intervention, many youth fall into multigenerational cycles of substance use, juvenile delinquency, school failure, and sustained poverty. ARCC serves thousands of youth and families annually with the overarching goal of keeping high- risk youth safe, in school, and drug & violence free.
