Mission and Vision

To develop in our students a sense of self in both a social-emotional and academic environment. To demonstrate to our students through the use of teamwork and communication between students, advocates, and teachers how to better themselves in the three main objectives of Abraham Lincoln YABC: 
1) Obtain a High School Diploma
 2) Work with students to help them change the behaviors that brought them to us
 3) Develop a clear, obtainable plan for the future

We provide quality, effective services that deepen connections between family members, within schools, and among neighbors. We work closely with community leaders to advocate, both locally and nationally, on behalf of our participants to make New York City a better place to live and work.
