YOUTH CLASSES:THROUGHOUT THE WEEK AND THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, ASLAN PROVIDES AFTERNOON AND EVENING RIGHT CHOICES CLASSES FOR 120 YOUTH, AGES 6 - 18. ONCE AGAIN, EDUCATION IS AT THE HEART OF EACH CLASS WITH OUR PURPOSE TO PROVIDE STRONG MORAL GUIDANCE THROUGH TEACHING JUDEO-CHRISTIAN VALUES. OUR GOAL IS TO DEVELOP CLOSE RELATIONSHIPS OF TRUST AND ENCOURAGE YOUNG PEOPLE TO MAKE GOOD DECISIONS THAT WILL BENEFIT THEM AND THEIR FELLOW MAN. MUCH TIME IS SPENT IN ANGER MANAGEMENT TRAINING, CONFLICT RESOLUTION, AND THE BASICS OF HOW TO TREAT OTHERS AS YOU DESIRE TO BE TREATED. CHILDREN LEARN THE VALUE OF WORKING TOGETHER, RECOGNIZING THAT ONE'S WORLD DOES NOT REVOLVE SIMPLY AROUND YOUR PERSONAL NEEDS. NUMEROUS EDUCATIONAL & RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES ARE EMPLOYED THROUGH THE YOUTH CLASSES, INCLUDING: BACK TO-SCHOOL CLOTHING, FIELD TRIPS, HOLIDAY GIFT PROGRAMS, NUTRITIOUS SNACKS, HOLIDAY FOOD BASKETS, ETC.

MENTOR/TUTORIAL PROGRAM:EDUCATION OF THE MIND, BODY AND SPIRIT IS AT THE VERY HEART OF EACH ASLAN PROGRAM. WITHOUT EDUCATING THE WHOLE PERSON, CHILDREN ARE LEFT WITHOUT THE TOOLS NECESSARY TO BE A PRODUCTIVE AND WELL-ADJUSTED MEMBER OF SOCIETY. IT COSTS THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS EACH YEAR FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL INCARCERATED OR RECEIVING PUBLIC SUPPORT. ANY INVESTMENT IN EDUCATION TO ENCOURAGE A YOUNG PERSON TO ACHIEVE THEIR GOD-GIVEN POTENTIAL IS WELL WORTH THE PRICE!ASLAN HAS DEVELOPED A SUCCESSFUL AND HIGHLY RESPECTED MENTOR/TUTORIAL PROGRAM IN WHICH ASLAN'S VOLUNTEER TUTORS WORK ONE-ON-ONE AND PROVIDE MUCH-NEEDED EDUCATIONAL AND EMOTIONAL SUPPORT FOR THEIR STUDENTS. THE HEART OF THIS PROGRAM IS THE RELATIONSHIPS THAT ARE BUILT BETWEEN MENTORS AND CHILDREN. MANY INDIVIDUALS SPEND QUALITY HOURS WITH THEIR STUDENTS OUTSIDE OF TUTORING - ATTENDING CULTURAL EVENTS, TAKING THE CHILDREN HOME ON WEEKENDS FOR CHURCH ACTIVITIES, SPORTING EVENTS ETC. ASLAN INCORPORATES A PEER-MENTORING PROGRAM THAT INVOLVES A NUMBER OF HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS.
