SEACA ended the academic year with many accomplishments and a few celebrations! This past year, we completed a community health assessment by door-knocking in our communities, collected oral histories of community members, and built the first Lincoln Heights Community Garden --- just to name a few of our accomplishments. Watch the video to recap our year. Congratulations to all our members,
