Meet another incredible organization in our Jones Community for Nonprofits affiliate network: Teen Action and Support Center (TASC)!

TASC supports teens ages 13–19 and their families as they navigate the challenges of adolescence and work toward becoming the best version of themselves. Through critical, preventive and supportive programs and services, TASC provides whole-person support at no-to-low cost.

Last school year, 100% of teens participating in First Step graduated on time — creating new possibilities for themselves and their children and helping build generational change.

🌟 Affiliate Spotlight: Arkansas Coalition of Marshallese 🌟

Meet one of our Jones Community for Nonprofits affiliate organizations: Arkansas Coalition of Marshallese!

The Arkansas Coalition of Marshallese is dedicated to nurturing community wellbeing and expanding economic opportunities for Marshallese families through healthcare access, educational workshops, leadership development, and strategic partnerships.

While rooted in the Marshallese community, ACOM provides culturally grounded, community-centered services that support Pacific Islander families across Arkansas. Their work meets immediate needs while empowering individuals and families with the tools and resources to build long-term self-reliance.

One powerful example of their impact came after the May 2024 tornadoes in Northwest Arkansas. Working alongside trusted partners like the Red Cross and AenEmmaan, ACOM helped deliver meals, repair homes, and support families affected by the storm. For one family whose child was undergoing cancer treatment, ACOM quickly coordinated resources to restore electricity and provide the life-sustaining equipment they urgently needed—demonstrating the strength of community partnerships and compassionate action.

💬 "Sweetest people I ever worked with. If you need help with anything, that's the place you go to. I thank you guys for helping me and my dad with his cataract because now he can see clearly. You guys deserve 5 stars. Thank you, Stephanie. Appreciate your hard work."
— Almi Langidrik, ACOM client

Want to get involved? You can volunteer, serve as an ambassador or board member, become a trusted community partner, or support ACOM through financial contributions. Every act of support helps strengthen Marshallese families and communities across Arkansas.
