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.
