Supporting Action Youth America’s After-School Programs
The hours after school matter for students and working parents. Children need a safe place to learn, connect, and stay active, while parents need dependable care beyond the school day.
Action Youth America provides after-school and out-of-school learning programs that bring education and enrichment together. Its offerings include homework help, academic activities, sports, recreation, nutrition education, and character development.
By supporting AYA, Orange Aluminum contributed to an organization whose work connects student learning with practical support for families.
How Our Customers Helped Make the $5,561 Donation Possible
Throughout the initiative, a portion of every Orange Aluminum purchase contributed toward our donation to Action Youth America.
The resulting $5,561 contribution marked a milestone for Orange Cares. It showed how customer purchases, combined across a quarter, can help us extend our support for organizations serving the community.
Thank you to the customers and partners who made this contribution possible. Your continued support of Orange Aluminum helps sustain our quarterly giving program.
Team Orange Assembled Care Packages for Montebello Students
Our employees also took part by assembling care packages for students participating in Action Youth America’s Montebello program.
The volunteer activity gave Team Orange a direct way to contribute to the initiative. Alongside the donation, the care packages represented the time and attention our employees brought to supporting local students.
Why Our Team Selected Action Youth America
Orange Aluminum Purchasing Manager Vanessa Aguilar nominated Action Youth America after experiencing firsthand how its programs support working parents and their children.
Her connection helped our team understand the value of dependable after-school care: students have a supervised place to spend time beyond the classroom, and parents have support as they balance work and family responsibilities.
Employee nominations are central to Orange Cares. They help us discover organizations through the experiences of the people we work with and keep our giving connected to needs within our communities.
