Our Programs
We are our purpose
- The Program is a youth-services organization focused on two primary goals: positively transforming the lives of young people and supporting their successful continuation in school. We serve urban, at-risk youth ages 10–15 who face an increased risk of academic disengagement or dropping out. Looking ahead, Ascending Sons aspires to be a model organization, demonstrating what is possible when strong bridges are built between students, parents, and schools.
Nurturing Healthy Habits
- Many at-risk youth struggle with poor eating habits and inadequate nutrition. We address these life-threatening challenges by educating children and their families on the importance of healthy dietary choices. Through our program, participants receive nutritious meals and learn how to grow fresh herbs, vegetables, and fruits as part of our hands-on gardening initiative.
Community Connections
- Atlanta is a city rich with opportunity, yet many children within the metropolitan area face significant disadvantages due to challenges rooted in their home environments and communities. Ascending Sons partners with schools, families, and judicial officials to support at-risk youth by providing the essential tools and guidance needed for long-term success in life.
