ASE Academy: Mentorship in Action
Looking to make a difference this fall? Join ASE Academy, a collaboration with Makuu: The Black Cultural Center, where Penn students mentor middle and high school students from West Philadelphia.
As a mentor, you’ll volunteer 3 hours each Saturday during Fall 2025, guiding and supporting young scholars while building meaningful connections. This is a chance to give back, grow your leadership skills, and positively impact the next generation.
Ase Academy is an academic and cultural enrichment program designed to provide support for Black middle and high school students (6th-12th grade) in Philadelphia. Each Saturday (11:30am-1:30pm), Ase students come to Penn to learn about their identity, community, and history with Black undergraduate mentors with the ultimate goal of developing students’ literacy and critical thinking skills. Students also engage in arts and other enrichment programming as well as enjoy access to other resources offered by Penn. Breakfast is provided, and all food is halal.
