Mission Statement
Foundations Asheville is to help young adults (ages 18–25) gain the tools, confidence, and self-reliance needed to successfully transition into independent adulthood.
Foundations Asheville is a young adult transition community located in the mountains of North Carolina (Asheville). It provides tools to identify a path and transition to independent adulthood, where young adults can find meaning, direction, relationships, and self-reliance.
These are the 6 areas of importance to begin to find success & independence:
1. Academic + Vocational Success
2. Financial Management
3. Social Integration
4. Personal Health
5. Functional Living Skills
6. Hobbies and Interests.
📚 Real-World Academics & 📚Careers: Students pursue college or vocational training through active partnerships with UNC Asheville, AB Tech, local internships, and workforce opportunities.
🏠 Progressive, Paced Housing: Participants practice independence at a pace tailored to their unique needs. Our progressive residential phases carefully transition young adults from: Supported group homes ➡️ Student-run housing ➡️ Independent apartments.
Are you 18–25 and facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, low motivation, social isolation, executive-function delays, academic interruptions, or lack of direction? ☎️ Call to learn more about how you might fit into this community.
