Advocacy Council Activism at Merced CVTC

CVTC Merced proudly celebrated Autism Awareness Month with an expanded April Autism Walk honoring individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder and raising visibility, support, and community connection. The event’s strong turnout was a meaningful reflection of the community’s shared commitment to inclusion, advocacy, and celebration.
