ABC Youth has received a $150,000 grant from the Anna Paulina Foundation toward our NEW Training Center. This momentum comes as we launch our $1.5 million Building Futures Campaign to construct a permanent Skilled Trades and STEM Training Center. Due to our growth over the years, we have outgrown our current rented space creating an urgent need for a new training center.

Your support helps raise $1.5 million for our vibrant state-of-the-art facility that will include skilled trades classrooms, STEM labs, a commercial kitchen, outdoor youth oasis, and career readiness programs. In this space, youth will learn valuable skills and build self-worth. All donations are Tax Exempt.
