“Asian youth services is a year-round youth drop-in center. Although any youth is welcome, ays was founded primarily to serve southeast asian refugee families. Our mission is empowerment through education. We seek to break the cycle of crime and poverty in this community by working with youths from an early age to encourage academic success and teach values.”

“Ays tutoring and scholarship program. Ays primary purpose is to provide youth age 5 through 18 with a safe and positive place to do their homework, socialize, and have fun. Approximately 25-40 youth visit the center on a typical day. Although we primarily serve children of refugee familites from the khmer rouge genocide, any youth is welcome at our center. Groups from local schools and organizations visit for tutoring and mentoring. In 2008, our youth have continued to perform well in school. Two youths who have been attending ays since childhood recently graduated from high school (the first from their family to do so) and will be attending college.”

“Ays meals program. We provide hot meals for approixmatel 25-40 ays youth every evening on mondy through friday and saturday in the afternoon. The meal program works hand-in-hand with the tutoring and scholarship program. Many of these children go home to empty kitchens, and a full dinner in the evening is essential to allow them to concentrate on their homework and succeed in school.”

“Ays summer arts and leadership camp. We run a full day camp at the ays center from monday through saturday over the summer to provide constructive educational activities while keeping our youth off the streets. Among the camp programs is a course in non-violent conflict resolution from the peace education foundation. This course teaches coping skills and self-reflection that many of our youth sorely need due to the paucity of positive role models in their lives. We also had guests almost every day of the week who led activities such as art projects and science demonstrations.”
