Our Mission

A-SOL’s mission is to empower underserved youth through an after-school and summer program, introducing them to an array of vocations, entrepreneurial concepts, and life skills that can change the course of their lives.

Our Story

A-SOL was founded when two like-minded servants came together to turn their vision and passion into reality. In January 2022, Lorna Reddicks and Austin Bowyer formed a partnership to make a long-term impact on students' lives in the South Dallas community.
