AV狼 Initiatives
Community Counseling Clinic (CCC)
- CCC is designed for two purposes: 1) to provide free counseling services to the diverse members of the Hayward community, and 2) to provide professional clinical training opportunities for students in AV狼’s School Counseling, School Psychology, and Marriage and Family Therapy programs. CCC offers four types of programs to meet a variety of counseling needs: Individual Counseling, Couples Counseling, Family Counseling, and Support Groups. Therapists support their clients in various areas, such as making decisions, communicating, coping, improving communication skills, renewing relationship harmony, identifying strengths and supports, increasing emotional awareness, and developing problem-solving skills.

Community Leadership Initiative
- Provides civic engagement leadership and learning opportunities to the neighborhood’s residents so they may effectively influence the decision-making that will make a positive difference to the prosperity and vitality of their community – and in the process help remove institutional barriers and change systems that will then allow the community’s vision to be actualized.
