Drop-in Center Now Open!
Located at 707 E Mingus Ave, Suite 101, in Cottonwood AZ
We’re thrilled to announce the opening of our new drop-in center, a welcoming and transformative space now serving our community.
Thank you to everyone who joined us at the end of March for our grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony; your presence and support meant the world to us.
Our drop-in center will serve many purposes: a hub for resources, a training facility, a gathering space for community outreach, and the physical location for the hybrid portion of our micro school. It also now serves as the home base for our dedicated staff.
This center has been years in the making, born from a shared dream and unwavering commitment. It marks an important step toward our larger vision; owning a permanent property where we can expand these services even further.
Thank you to everyone who believed in us and helped bring this space to life. We’re just getting started.
Community Centered
At AJR, we’re excited to use this new space in a truly community-centered way.
It will serve as a hub for connection and support—hosting gatherings, small social events, peer support groups for youth and parents, and offering a welcoming environment for collaboration with other service providers. We also plan to use the space to provide training and technical assistance (TTA) to fellow organizations working to serve vulnerable communities.
Thank you!
We couldn’t have brought this vision to life without the generous support of so many—through financial gifts, in-kind donations, and the unwavering belief in our mission.
Having a physical space has always been central to the heart of Applejack’s Ranch. This drop-in center brings us one step closer to our ultimate goal: owning a permanent property where our vision and mission can continue to grow.
We’re deeply grateful and incredibly excited for the services, support, and sense of community we’ll be able to foster through this space.
