If you've ever visited CAA in person, you've probably had the pleasure of meeting James, our amazing site manager. James first came to CAA after seeing how much his friend Anthony loved working at the school. After volunteering for awhile, James was hired as an employee at CAA and has built a career centered on service, organization, and community. What started with a check in on a friend has turned into a journey filled with growth, discovery, and meaningful impact.
