Aspiring Youth® is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with programs preparing at-risk youth for success in school and in life.

The Aspiring Youth After-School Programs has been working with at-risk youth for more than a decade.



Students do not stop learning when the bell rings at the end of the schoolday -- they just change teachers. Aspiring Youth® provides positive activities and mentoring relationships during the laatch-key hours after school when youth are especially vulnerable.



Aspiring Youth's® mission is to prepare at-risk youth for success in school and in life. To fulfill our mission, Aspiring Youth® operates the Aspiring Youth® After-School Program, Take A Student To your Employment (TASTE) Program, College for a Day Program and produces the "Positive Youth Development" and "Success Stories" TV shows.



Aspiring Youth® focuses on the middle school years when children are transforming from childhood to adolescence. The choices made during the pre-teen years are the foundation for each student´s future success.
