Program Spotlight:
Workforce Readiness
The “Quest for Success” workforce readiness program provides our high school students with opportunities and experiences to prepare them to be competitive in the workforce. Students gain the self-confidence needed to work through tough challenges, graduate from high school, find a career that they love, and become service-learning minded citizens.

At ASAS, students don’t just participate—they lead, serve, and inspire. Our LA chapter offers workforce development programs like The Quest and leadership programs like BOLD (Building Our Leaders and Dreamers), where students gain the confidence, skills, and character to step up as leaders in their schools and communities.

Last January, hundreds of students in our LA and NY chapters attended exclusive early screenings of Wonka.
This once-in-a-lifetime experience included a red carpet photoshoot, giveaways, and a surprise visit by “Willy Wonka” himself, Timothée Chalamet!
