Adelante Con la Educacion (or ACE): This program was started to create an opportunity for students of low income families to continue their education into junior and senior high school.  Although a public education system is provided in Mexico, because of the cost of required daily uniforms, gym uniforms, shoes, school supplies and tuition, most low-income students never receive a high school educatuired materials for each student but has also developed motivational programs which help students stay focused.  At present Liga MAC supports approximately 300 students.

Social Services Program:  Although general medical assistance is available it is not universal and the level of assistance to low-income families is commensurate with their ability to pay.  Liga M.A.C. pays for tests, medicines and medical attention for those patients referred by concerned social workers, doion.  This diploma is paramount in getting a decent job.  Working with the local social workers, Liga MAC qualifies students in good standing that are in danger of dropping out of school.  Liga MAC not only provides the reqctors or other qualified and concerned medical professionals.  In addition we work with other charitable organizations both locally and internationally to provide expensive diagnostic and surgical procedures.

Community Services Program:  With the advent of the Centro de Apoyo Liga M.A.C., those in need now have an easily accessible location where they can acquire aid, information and programs.  Twice a month on “Despensa” day needy families can apply for food vouchers, clothing and household items.  Information about job opportunities and government assistance programs is also available.  Community Services has also begun “personal development” programs at the centre.  Our first “Alas” (or wings) program taught young girls between the ages of 12 and 14 about personal hygiene, educational opportunities and self-confidence and was a huge success.  There are plans to continue the Alas program and to develop other new programs including nutrition and job skill programs. In addition, Liga M.A.C. member Rocio Rosales is currently teaching literacy classes every Thursday afternoon.  Earlier this year guest speaker Ricardo Zamora, a business man and economics lecturer at the Pan-American University in Mexico City, gave a motivational talk to a group of our ACE students at the centre.
