Aslan Youth Ministries
Aslan is unique in our whole-person approach and in the scope of our programs. Approx. 150 children from Asbury Park, Neptune, Long Branch, Red Bank's West Side and the adjoining northeastern end of Tinton Falls in Monmouth County, New Jersey, are served in a myriad of ways, including: Mentoring/Tutoring (40 youth); Right Choices Classes rooted in Christian teaching & values (125); Holiday Gift Programs (150); Enrichment & Recreational Programs. Aslan also serves 200 children & hundreds of adults in and around L'Acajou, Haiti (northeastern area along the border of the Dominican Republic), where we own 6 acres of land. We have a clean-water program serving hundreds of families, food assistance, sewing & English classes, a modern medical clinic & church. We will begin building a school in 2021.
Patterns of drug & alcohol abuse, teen pregnancy, illiteracy and hopelessness are ingrained in adult's lives and almost impossible to reverse. By starting children at age 5 and shepherding them through high school, our life-transforming programs help young people learn new and positive behaviors and choose a better path for their lives. Children will either become tomorrow's hope or tomorrow's problems! Aslan reaches children before negative and destructive behavioral patterns become hopelessly ingrained. We have proven time and time again that our one-on-one, relationship-directed approach works! During the past 45 years, Aslan has been recognized from the New Jersey State House to the White House as a leader in innovative solutions to the difficult problems facing disenfranchised, urban children. Aslan supports a staff of 7, in addition to approximately 500 talented and dedicated volunteers.

ASLAN is relationship-based to our core. Everything we do is built around helping each individual child move from a negative, defeated place to a positive, encouraging place, and we have a window of opportunity from age 5 to age 18 (whether in America or in Haiti) to accomplish this. Although the model is different for each child, Over time, we design a
