A-B Tech & Partnerships
Partnership with ABCCM's Transformation Village offers Opportunities
We are so excited to partner with ABCCM at their new Transformation Village location at 45 Rocky Ridge Rd, Asheville, NC 28806. https://www.abccm.org/transformation-village As their educational partner we are proud to join them in mission by providing onsite training opportunities for the women residents, joined by others in the community at this location.
ABCCM Transformation Village provides up to 100 beds of transitional housing for homeless women, mothers with children, and Veterans. Transforming lives is through four developmental phases called Steps to Success. These include 1) Stabilization, with all the basic necessities provided; 2) Life Skills Training, with over 60 volunteer courses to choose from including Bible studies; 3) Education and Professional Training Certifications that lead to living wage jobs; and 4) Reintegration that leads to permanent housing. We are honored to report that 8 out of 10 leave us with a living wage job and permanent housing.
ABCCM’s area partners include Buncombe County Health and Human Services, VAYA Health, and the Charles George Veterans Administration Medical Center plus A-B Tech’s Continuing Education program. Additionally, ABCCM will continue collaborations with area organizations such as Our Voice and Helpmate to address domestic violence and sexual trauma. Mental health and substance abuse organizations work with ABCCM’s Recovery Living Services and ABCCM’s Medical Ministry to ensure that our residents are receiving the highest level of support as they transition into their permanent homes.
There are also many other volunteer opportunities to help out. Check out their website for more information.
We welcome ABCCM’s Transformation Village location as an education partner to the community!
