Asian Youth Services is an after school tutoring program for students ages 5 to 16, located in Uptown Chicago. Serving between 10 and 20 youths, with increased attendance during special events, the children are primarily of Cambodian descent with a few participants of Laotian and Vietnamese origins. Eagerly coming to AYS to learn everyday skills in subjects such as math, English or history, the children come from families with parents who have had no formal schooling. Almost all of these children receive public aid and rely on AYS for assistance beyond academic tutoring. AYS has become a second home, a safe and comfortable place for children to learn and interact with other children. Many families of AYS participants are first and second generation immigrants - many of them lived through the Southeast Asian Holocaust.
