ORGANIZER

AASuccess is a 501(3)(c) non profit based in Falls Church, Virginia. Founded in 2007, AASuccess mission always revolves around empowering young people to achieve their true potential while cultivating future leaders to spread ethical and humanitarian values in our communities. In this fast-paced, ever-changing, and anxiety-ridden world, we teach our youth to search and discover their positive life values, empower them to thrive, and enter society as mature and focused young adults. We help them with the skills necessary for success in their personal, academic, professional, and philanthropic goals.

Our mentoring program – Life Skills Academy – creates an intangible impact that goes beyond AASuccess. We measure our success by how motivated and confident our students realize their goals. We see firsthand how earlier students experienced persistent growth and became successful leaders and philanthropists. 

Today’s youth struggle with mental health because of pressures from school, family, and social media. The Summer Mental Health Conference hosted by AASuccess strives to relieve those pressures while uplifting those who struggle with mental illness, allowing understanding to grow within all in the community, including peers, parents, and educators.
