Pathway Towards The Light
The Ashan Foundation seeks to help individuals navigate through their educational journey and help them positively identify their purpose within their community and in society. We aim to help our students discover their true potential through individual and group counseling sessions, as well as real-world experiences.
We have a plethora of professionals who are committed to mentoring and providing internship/volunteer opportunities within various global industries.
Rebuilding a Culture of Success that Encourages PostSecondary Aspirations
Utilize College/Career Assessments by:
Helping Students Identify Short/Long Term Academic & Career Goals
Introduce a Variety of Trade/Vocational Opportunities
Educate Students on how to Effectively Utilize the Community College Resources
Training School Counseling Staff
Although guidance/counseling staff should drive school-based postsecondary preparation and support, many counselors need additional training and mentoring to reach a level of comfort and competence in this leadership role.
The Ashan Foundation will offer seminars and professional development opportunities to help staff and administrators to become equipped to serve their student population.
Make a PostSecondary Plan & Exit Requirements for Every Student
Every Students Plan will Include:
A Detailed List of Potential Colleges/Career and a Concentration
Personal Statement/ Essay & Letters of Recommendation
Resume & Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
Provide Continuous Support After Graduation
One factor that contributes to the gap between the rates of students who are accepted to college and those who actually enroll is the lack of financial support, guidance, and encouragement that many students need to follow through on decisions that will alter their lives dramatically.
The Light Your Path Initiative aims to continue serving these students by holding monthly information sessions and webinars to discuss important relevant issues and to maintain healthy levels of communication with program participants as they maneuver in the “real world”.
