Let's do better together!

In the event of inclement weather, ACNC’s Wellness & Opportunity Center located at 216 Asheland Avenue, Asheville, NC, will follow the guidance of Asheville City Schools. If this school district announces closure, delay, or early dismissal, our center will adopt the same operational status. This approach ensures that our decisions are aligned with local safety assessments and provides a clear, predictable standard for our community.
