Our Story
Our founder and CEO, Pablo Uriarte retired after working many years as a Broward County Public School Social Worker. But Pablo’s passion and commitment to help families was stronger than ever! So he decided to take a leap of faith and form ACHC. Within a few years we have grown to 3 locations, expanded our staff and serving families all throughout Broward County.

Testimonials
“Pine Ridge Education Center is an alternative program that educate the most challenging at-risk students in Broward County School System. Partnering with Active Community has assisted us with many services to help our students and parents. Through their services and programs, the students were able to successfully transition back to their home schools. I have recommended Active Community to many of my colleagues in the Broward County School System”.

“It has truly been a remarkable experience working with Mr. Pablo Uriarte and his amazing team over several years to provide wrap around services to students at William Dandy. The work to support students, especially those that struggle, is multi-dimensional and does not take place without addressing their social emotional and in many cases basic needs. The ACTIVE team truly understands these essential elements of support. What makes ACTIVE even more impactful in their delivery are the services they provide that extend and expand to include the families of our students. In addition to providing interventions, ACTIVE employs a proactive approach to ensure students are served. The team is supportive and always ready to work with school staff to ensure they are meeting the needs as identified. The work accomplished by Mr. Uriarte and his team was evident in student outcomes at William Dandy.
It is therefore with much enthusiasm that I submit this letter of recommendation on behalf of Active Community Health Center. I am confident that they will continue to grow in their support of students and families in the communities they serve”.

“ Village Elementary School is a Title-1 Public School located in the City of Sunrise and is a part of the Broward County School System. Over 90% of our students are on free or reduced lunch and our partnership with Active Community Health Center has been extremely positive. Many of our students and parents have benefited from the services provided by Active Health Center throughout the whole school year. Our students' interests in attending school on a daily basis have improved tremendously due to the support and assistance provided by Active Health Center. I highly recommend Active Health Center to other colleagues in our school system”.

“Dillard Elementary has a wonderful partnership with Active Community Health (ACH). They meet the social and emotional needs of some of our most challenging students. Within a short time, I've seen firsthand the positive impact ACH has had on our student's lives. The students are always eager and excited about the program. I highly recommend Active CHC”.
