The Impact of Active Boys in Christ (ABC Youth)
We are educating, equipping and encouraging youth for a better tomorrow!
There’s a major shortage in the skilled trades workforce—something leaders like Mike Rowe and companies like Black & Decker have been sounding the alarm about. At ABC Youth, we’re working to close that gap by starting with the next generation.
Join us in our journey to uplift and transform lives and communities, one youth at a time through teaching skilled trades and STEM to our youth.
