AYA’s success grows from philanthropic giving, both in time and gifts, that enables AYA to provide the best possible environment and education for our students. Our community’s commitment and support allows us to fulfill our mission as we strive to advance the Kingdom of God. Volunteering at AYA has a lasting impact on those that choose to serve as well as on the students with whom they are working. 

Volunteers are exposed to children from various cultural and/or socio-economic backgrounds. The result is a broader understanding and new respect for the deserving children of our inner city. See the various ways in which you can begin to get involved at AYA!
