There’s so much involved in raising a teenager. Who takes care of the ABC scholars?
We own and operate two houses, complete with paid Resident Directors and cooks. The Resident Directors act as surrogate parents for our scholars while they are away from home. The rest are volunteers. Support service volunteers are assigned to each scholar including an academic liaison, a social worker, and a college coach. We have an all-volunteer Board of Directors that makes sure the program runs smoothly and the scholars have what they need to succeed. Volunteers help in every way – there are drivers, host families, college coaches, dedicated fund raisers, and so on.
