THIS NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION WAS CREATED TO HONOR THE LEGACY OF FALLEN OFFICER ARMANDO CHAZ MENDOZA. ARMANDO DEVELOPED A VISION WITH HIS MOTHER AND BROTHER TO POSITIVELY INFLUENCE AND IMPACT THE YOUTH IN LOCAL COMMUNITIES THAT SOCIETY DEEMED AS A BLIGHT ON THE SURROUNDING CITIES. OUR MAIN FOCUS IS LITERACY, VISION, AND TRANSFORMATION.

ARMANDO AND HIS FAMILY BELIEVED THAT IN ORDER TO CREATE LONG-TERM CHANGE, IT STARTS WITH THE YOUTH. BY DISCOVERING THE GIFTS OF THE YOUNG, ASSISTING THEM IN REALIZING THEIR IDENTITY, AND EMPOWERING THEM TO BECOME THE BEST VERSION OF SELF, GOD CREATED THEM TO BE. IN EVERY ASPECT OF LIFE.

THROUGH CREATING DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS AND MENTORSHIP THIS FOUNDATION WILL HELP THE ADULTS OF TOMORROW GAIN LIFE SKILLS, ENHANCE THEIR GIFTS, PROVIDE EXPOSURE TO SUCCESSFUL GIFTED INDIVIDUALS, AND OPPORTUNITIES. THE ACM FOUNDATION ENVISIONS A SOCIETY THAT WILL HAVE POWERFUL, WEALTHY, ABUNDANT, AND INFLUENTIAL ADULTS THAT WILL IMPACT THE WORLD FOR THE BETTER.
