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 refuge families from the Khmer Rouge genocide, any youth is welcome at our center. Groups from local schools and organizations visit for tutoring and mentoring. In 2015, our youth have continued to perform well in school. two youth 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. 62539 AYS Meals Program. We provide hot meals for approximately 25-40 AYS youth every evening on Monday 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. 10094 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 every day of the week who led activities such as art projects and science demonstrations. 11028 All other accomplishments: Enrichment - art and music lessons Recreation - field trips School Supplies - provide school supplies for children in need Gifts - XMAS and birthday 1288 84949 Shari Fenton Executive Dir. 80.00 0 Rich Frachey President 0 0 Martha Leuthner Vice President 0 0 Sareth Meas Treasurer 0 0 Lauren Reed Secretary 0 0 Grace Lee Director 0 0 X false false false false false false false false 0 0 false false Shari Fenton 2722 W Lawrence Chicago IL 60625 7735178525 false false false false false false false false false false false false false NONE NONE true X 87991 73142 86136 92272 102899 442440 0 0 0 0 87991 73142 86136 92272 102899 442440 0 0 442440 0 0 0 0 87991 73142 86136 92272 102899 442440 1.00000 0.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Other Expenses.1002 Office Expenses $2090 Other Expenses.1003 Information Technology $646 Other Expenses.1005 Travel $4785 Other Expenses.1012 Insurance $475 Other Expenses.1 School Expenses $54794 Other Expenses.2 Enrichment $8752 Other Expenses.3 Miscellaneous $2615 Other Expenses.4 Summer Stipends $2500 Other Expenses.5 Gifts $1288
