Success Stories

“The AICA has kept me positive and chasing my dreams. Through their dedication of helping others become their best. I know they have helped me financially to overcome some hurdles that would not have been cleared without their help. I have stage 4 cirrhosis and disability pays nothing so I'm glad they are available to help me become self-sufficient again.”

"My name is Melissa. I am a Certified Pharmacy Technician, and a Registered Medical Assistant, currently attending school for Health Information Management/Billing and Coding. The American Indian Center of Arkansas, and their staff, have helped to make continuing my education a lot more obtainable. Through programs they have, I was able to meet educational requirements set by the schools I attended, and obtain the certification, degree(s), and licensure for the studies I've taken. I couldn't have done it without the AICA, and their help~ especially in the course I'm in now. I'm Thankful to Everyone within the American Indian Center of Arkansas, for helping me make my dreams possible. "
