OUR PROGRAMS PRIMARY MISSION is to PROVIDE THESE SCHOLARS WITH A BETTER CHANCE to EXCEL IN HIGH SCHOOL, ATTEND A QUALITY COLLEGE or UNIVERSITY, and LEAD A FULFILLING PERSONAL and PROFESSIONAL LIFE. GUILFORD ABC, WHICH OPENED ITS DOORS IN 1974, WAS ONE of THE VERY FIRST COMMUNITY-BASED ABC PROGRAMS IN THE NATION.

GIVEN THEIR ACHIEVEMENTS, MANY of THESE GUILFORD ABC GRADUATES HAVE BECOME REAL-LIFE ROLE MODELS.
