FAQs

  • As a 501(c)(3), Ancora Transitional Services’ mission is to provide marketable skills and comprehensive community support services to individuals in recovery. Through our community-focused café and bakery, Ancora provides quality training in barista skills, cooking, baking, customer service, cash handling, leadership, and teamwork. All in a sober, judgment-free, and safe environment. We operate in partnership with Perfectly Imperfect, a counseling center specializing in supporting, accepting, and developing healthy behavioral changes.

    We hope that this experience will enable our participants to successfully transition into independent, sober living and employment.

  • Ancora is the Latin word for anchor, a device that keeps a ship locked into position. An anchor is also a symbolic object. It represents stability and hope and can be the one small tool that grounds a ship in place, keeping it from drifting off into the open sea. Ancora Cafe is the place where clients find grounding in Albuquerque in their recovery journey.
