PROGRAM INITIATIVES & CAMPS
ASAS teamed up with the Mazda Foundation, the exclusive sponsor of ASAS’ Life Service Action, to help students develop as leaders and inspire participants to engage in their communities. Through participation in student-led, curriculum-driven service learning projects, students develop a stronger sense of social responsibility and civic awareness. The National Youth Advisory Board (NYAB) is comprised of an exceptional student representing each ASAS chapter who exemplifies great leadership. NYAB members participate in a week-long advocacy and civic engagement camp and are tasked with spearheading community service projects in their local communities throughout the school year.
“Because of After-School All-Stars, I feel like I’m important, that my opinion matters. I’m so fortunate to have been chosen to be a National Youth Advisory Board Member. I feel happier, more social and more knowledgeable.” Citlali, ASAS Los Angeles
