Welcome to the Vision of the ABC Collective
WE DID IT!!! We won the bid from the APS RFP to repurpose Paris elementary school!
We ARE creating a thriving community hub!
Check out our most recent news story from PBS.
The ABC Collective envisions a space that provides health and wellness programming, civic engagement, educational and workforce development – facilitated by the partner organizations that comprise the ABC Collective. This collective will honor what the Paris Elementary community of youth and families desired for the future of the building.

Our Governing Body
The governing body is a group of organizations (shown below) that will steward the oversight and manifestation of the community hub at Paris elementary. We believe the ABC Collective will provide the necessary avenues for Aurora's youth, elders and families to grow toward economic, educational, and equitable liberation. This collective provides the diversity of assets, talent and leadership needed to continue serving the community.
