Alumni

For more than fifty years, Aslan Youth Ministries has walked alongside children in Monmouth County, planting seeds of character, faith, and purpose in young lives that the world had not yet fully seen. You are what those seeds became. Welcome home.

We have been thinking about you.

You came to us as children, some of you from the streets of Red Bank, some from Long Branch, Asbury Park, or Neptune. You rode the blue bus. You sat across from a tutor who believed in you before you believed in yourself. You ate meals with us, challenged us, laughed with us, grew with us, and then you went out and built lives that continue to humble and inspire everyone who had the honor of walking alongside you.

Aslan graduates are now in their 30s, 40s, and 50s. They are engineers and military commanders. They are chefs, educators, entrepreneurs, and parents raising the next generation with the same values this community instilled in them. One of our own now serves on our Board of Directors. Others have come back to volunteer, to mentor, to give, and to ensure that the children coming through our doors today receive the same investment that was once made in them.

That investment never stopped.

The Lion’s Pride is our way of saying what we have always believed: once a part of Aslan, always a part of Aslan. This page is yours. It is a place to reconnect with the family that helped shape you, share your story, and stay close to a mission that has never stopped believing in the potential of every young person it serves.

However far you have traveled, you always have a home here.

Your Story Matters More Than You Know.

For over fifty years, Aslan Youth Ministries has served children in Monmouth County, and the question we are asked most often by the foundations and grant-making organizations that fund our work is this: What happens to the children after they leave?

You are the answer.

We are asking every Aslan alumnus to take a few moments to complete a short, anonymous survey. Your responses, shared on your own terms and reported only in general terms with no names or identifying information, directly help us secure the grant funding that keeps our programs running for the next generation of children in Red Bank, Long Branch, Asbury Park, and Neptune who need us.

Only 33 alumni have completed the survey so far. Every single response has been remarkable. We need your voice.

Your information will never be used publicly without your explicit written permission. This survey is completely confidential.
