DSAA goes beyond the expected to address concerns in this under-represented community. When school budget cuts forced Kindergartners at the local public school to lose their mid-day bus, DSAA worked with the PTO to organize an after-school program. When a resort announced plans to build on a sensitive environmental area, DSAA helped engage the public in voicing concerns and building a relationship with developers. DSAA organizes cleanups to remove trash and debris left over from heavy tourist usage. This effort reduces pollution at the headwaters of the Yuba River When tourism slowed and local businesses and residents began suffering from economic downturns, DSAA brought in experts to study and promote economic sustainabilty.
