Aslan’s goal is to empower underserved, at-risk children with the tools that are necessary to overcome the negative effects of the environments and circumstances in which they are raised, and that with those tools they will experience long-term changes that lead to academic and personal success.
We provide educational and mentoring programs to school-aged children, ages 5 -18, in a safe, and supportive environment. Our One-On-One Tutoring and Mentoring is focused on the educational and mental development of each child to help them achieve academic success and move on to the next grade. All the children we serve live below the federal poverty level, who, in addition to experiencing poverty as an adversity, may be subjected to the experiences of abuse, neglect, and family dysfunction, along with a host of other stressors, including community violence, discrimination, and peer victimization.
The pandemic has underscored the importance of investing in mental-health support, motivational coaching, skills training, and new support structures that could lead to an improved education experience.
