Mentorship
Each of our collective members will be assigned a mentor. The relationship between mentor and mentee is an invaluable one and will provide ongoing support, check-ins, etc. for our students. The mentor’s role is not just to guide but to ensure that their mentee is getting the most out of their relationship with the Asafa collective.
Financial
Our goal is to be able to supplement the financial needs of our youth collective members. We know that it takes more than just tuition and school supplies to support our mentees in their journey. We want to make sure they are receiving nutritious meals, safe and consistent transportation, stable housing, etc. The starting point for any individual's success is to ensure that their basic human needs are covered.
Our approach is twofold. We partner with other organizations and support your mentees in researching and applying for other grants and scholarships in order to subsidize our own costs. The other side of this coin is direct financial support for the needs that are not being met.

Academic/Trade
We provide tutoring and college prep for our students in order for them to reach their highest potential.
Talent/Extracurricular
Iron sharpens iron. In order to excel at anything, talent-specific coaching and lessons are important. We have a vast network of coaches and trainers in various sports and across the arts to support our students in their specific talents. Where we do not, we will work to find the right fit for our students. If financial resources are an obstacle to this type of support, we will subsidize this as well.
Mental Health
We all need someone to talk to sometimes. We have a growing team of therapists and social workers ready to provide mental health support.
