Inspiring and Nurturing the next generation of Leaders.
OUR MISSION
AYS is dedicated to equipping children and youth with the tools and resources they need to thrive in every aspect of their lives. We focus on fostering emotional, academic, intellectual, and spiritual development, empowering them to reach their full potential.
OUR VISION
AYS envisions a future where hope is restored for children and youth through meaningful relationships and character-building initiatives. Our programs cultivate essential moral and leadership qualities, enabling them to thrive in a positive environment. We aim to transform challenging pasts into bright futures by providing a safe haven for expression, healing, and growth. AYS's objectives are tailored to meet the needs of children, youth, and their families, fostering healthy support systems, guidance, and encouragement within the community.
AYS is established in Southeast Arkansas, specifically targeting youth aged 8 to 18 who are identified as at-risk. We create a safe environment that fosters encouragement, support, and healing. Each child and youth is paired with a dedicated volunteer mentor, who provides essential guidance and encouragement. Additionally, Alpha Youth Services offers life skills training and tutoring to empower these young individuals for success.
