Below you will find the latest achievements, news, and exciting activities from our members.
Jeremias Hernandez, leads teams on service trips to an orphanage in Chihuahua, Mexico. The orphanage is home to some of the worst cases of abuse, neglect, and racial discrimination. The children are primarily from the indigenous people group called the Tarahumara there are numerous documentaries on these people who are also known as the "barefoot runners". Jeremias has taken students, counselors, medical professionals and this year he is taking a construction team to the site!

Summer Planning at St. Barbara's Orthodox Church
At the beginning of August your Executive Committe and Board of Directors met in a marathon meeting to review our accomplishments from the past and plan for the future. We have two new interns that we will welcome at our first workshop and we approved the 2026-2027 CEU Schedule and presenters. We will continue to use Zoom as our online provider for our trainings and Board Meetings, and we approved the process for TCA members to be able to join NCTCA at the same time that they renew their TCA membership. NCTCA members will continue to be able to join NCTCA on this website if they are not members of TCA. And, we approved the 2026-2027 Chapter Management Plan. Looks like we are ready for a new year.
