Alpha Acres, "A Place of New Beginnings," serves as a second location for the Transformers program. Sitting on a 110-acre farm in Yadkinville, NC, this facility’s rural setting proves beneficial for men who need to be separated from the urban environment. Alpha Acres provides a structured, 12-month program consisting of intense Bible study, addiction recovery, academic instruction, work therapy, and recreation. These various facets of the program work together to create a well-rounded individual who is prepared to re-enter society as a successful citizen. The Innovative Learning Center at Alpha Acres helps men with a variety of different academic needs, enabling them to obtain their GED’s and learn both computer and critical thinking skills. In addition to the structured program components, the residents have the opportunity to participate in various recreational activities such as sports and fishing. Upon completing nine months at Alpha Acres, residents transfer to the New Life Center to begin looking for employment. For more information, click here or e-mail programs@wsrescue.org.
