FAQs

This program is sponsored by our generous community members in the Asheville, NC area.

“This program has been like no other program. It gets your mind, body, and spirit into the suck and uses that time to self reflect for improvement. I have discovered in myself what I want to change and how I want to improve myself and live a better life. I have discovered my strengths and my weaknesses. It has shown where I need to prioritize my life.”
