Programs

Learning how to learn
For students who have struggled, homework can help build independent learning skills when instructors are available to answer questions and provide tutoring. Each of our program sites is staffed with academic youth instructors as well as New York State Certified teachers who can answer questions and help build these skills.

Through service learning programs, ASASNY teaches valuable life lessons through community activities. Participation in student-led, curriculum-driven, service learning projects exposes our students to new learning concepts while helping them develop a stronger sense of civic awareness and social responsibility.

Creating academic success
We teach language arts, math and science to students through project-based programs. We use teaching tools that combine educational and entertainment content, with an emphasis on computer, technology and games. It’s all designed to help young people focus, encourage their efforts and build their self-esteem.

Enrichment and personal development
Enrichment activities build social, physical and emotional skills. Some of our activities include performing arts, architecture and cultural awareness. We also offer life skills programs that enhance character development, goal-setting, self-reliance and good citizenship.

Sports builds teamwork and a wealth of knowledge
Students can achieve personal bests in school when they have the tools to lead healthy, active lifestyles. Sports-based youth development programs help to connect lessons of community, teamwork and resilience on and off the courts and fields. Since fitness is only one part of healthy living, nutrition is also integrated into our sports and athletics programs.

CampUs turns summer fun into a life-long learning experience
Instead of losing ground during the summer, children can enjoy days filled with academic and sports instruction taught by university students under the supervision of professors and coaches. Half of each day is devoted to literacy skills; the rest to recreation and socialization activities.
