Access Granted Now
"Access Granted Now is committed to accepting each girl where they are and then cooperatively guiding them to present their best self; whether preparing them to return to their families or transitioning to become an independent, thriving successful member of the community. Each child is seen as an individual from the point of entry through their cycle of care with us."

TESTIMONIALS
WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT OUR SERVICES
I am honored to share my heartfelt testimonial about my time spent at AGN. This safe haven became my refuge and catalyst for personal growth, empowering me to embrace my potential and pursue my dreams. The impact of this remarkable institution cannot be overstated, as it has truly transformed my life.
L. Billingsley
The AGN was more than just a shelter; it was a place dedicated to holistic development. We received academic support, participated in enriching activities, and engaged in meaningful therapy sessions. The experience equipped us with the tools we needed to thrive.
S. Morants
Living with other girls who had also faced adversity created an instant bond among us. We formed a sisterhood, a support system unlike any other. Together, we shared our stories, triumphs, and setbacks, creating an environment of empathy, understanding, and encouragement.
