We believe every child matters.
Youth living in under-resourced communities face increased risk factors, including academic, health, and mental health challenges. Youth of low-income families often do not receive the same enrichment opportunities outside of school due to financial and transportation challenges. Children of working parents need a safe place during unsupervised hours, and support with homework and social-emotional learning that will help them succeed academically and socially.

Every child deserves to be safe and equipped to succeed.
That’s why ASAS Ohio provides free, high-quality, out-of-school programming to support youth in grades K-8. Our research-based youth development model equips our All-Stars to holistic success, achieving academic growth, relational health, and a positive sense of self that makes a measurable difference in their lives.

Our programs:

• Provide a safe, nurturing environment during out-of-school hours.
• Confront the elevated risk exposures low-income students face.
• Narrow opportunity gaps so every child can succeed.
• Help our youth and their families fare better in school, work, and life.
• Provide meals and snacks every day to keep students healthy and ready to learn!
