Programs designed with the community in mind
National Night Out 2010!
NATHA’s National Night Out Ice Cream Social took place at Perry’s Joint, located at 2051 N. Lincoln Avenue, Pasadena, CA 91103. Community residents had the opportunity to meet local law enforcement officials, elected representatives, and their neighbors. NATHA’s teen Lemonade Brigade sponsored free freshly-squeezed lemonade for all guests.Residents were encouraged to leave their house and porch lights on, take a stroll over to Perry’s Joint for refreshments, and mingle with their neighbors on the way.

Our teen Community Health Promoters (CHP) receive training to help their neighbors by disseminating information, organizing community events, creating outreach materials, and building relationships with residents.
Community Volunteers
Volunteers set NATHA’s priorities, staff its programs, help raise funds, disseminate information to residents and perform community service. They participate on committees, task forces and action teams. NATHA has, for example, worked with the City of Pasadena to install street lighting in a particularly unsafe area and to clean up parkways as part of its community beautification plan.
