Dear Community,

After spending four years waiting for the perfect moment to launch a male empowerment program, I am incredibly privileged to introduce myself as the Founder & Executive Director of Alpha Youth Services (AYS), Incorporated.

At AYS, my passion is to transform “at-risk” children and youth aged 8 to 18 into “at-possibilities.” We aim to create a safe, supportive, and healing environment that fosters growth and resilience.

I am committed to meeting every child and youth where they are, providing a nurturing space that addresses emotions, behaviors, and patterns as they arise. AYS stands firmly for excellence in leadership, integrity, and transparency, all within the spirit of community collaboration.

Moving forward, I will ensure AYS focuses on resolving the challenges faced by children and youth in identified poverty areas, proving that they are not a lost cause. AYS will cultivate strong, sustainable relationships between youth and adults that will benefit generations to come. We are excited to bring a positive outlook to the children and youth in the communities where we were born, raised, and where we currently work and live.

I am incredibly grateful to be associated with AYS and excited to embark on this journey with the next generation. The best of Alpha Youth Services, Incorporated is yet to come. Stay tuned!

Warm regards,

Stephanie Farris  Blanchett
Founder & Executive Director
Alpha Youth Services, Incorporated
