Mission, Philosophy, & Purpose
|
|
The mission of Aslan Youth Ministries is to provide relationship-based
programs that permanently impact the bodies, minds and spirits of
disadvantaged urban children and empower them to overcome their
negative environments and circumstances. Aslan's programs include
one-on-one mentoring and tutoring, character development classes
anchored in Christian values and principles, recreational activities,
summer camps, cultural enrichment programs, intervention services,
and scholarship assistance programs for higher learning.

Aslan's philosophy is that meaningful and permanent change only
takes place through the development of one's character and by learning
to live the basic principles of right and wrong upon which civilization
is based. Learning to function as a productive member of society
means learning to respect oneself and one's fellow man. Each Aslan
program is designed for long-term results that empower youth with
the tools needed to live meaningful lives. Aslan's radical approach
helps urban youth see beyond who they are at one particular moment
in time. Through continual and consistent year-round encouragement
and extreme adventure activities such as long-distance bicycle touring,
skiing, camping, and Project Third World Haiti, Aslan positions
children outside their comfort zones. We help them reach deeply
within and overcome their fears, limitations, and failures and,
with God's help, find the strength to endure and succeed!

 The
purpose for each of Aslan's programs is to impact the whole person.
This is accomplished by encouraging youth to reach their greatest
potential in relationship to their fellow man, while finding their
ultimate purpose through a vibrant, living relationship with Jesus
Christ.
