Our Mission

A-SOL's mission is to empower youth in under-resourced communities through faith-based, comprehensive after-school programming.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Building on this foundation, we are becoming the first national affiliate of By The Hand Club For Kids. This key partnership will expand our impact by enabling us to launch a comprehensive literacy intervention program for elementary students reading below grade level in September 2025.

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.
