Four  words: Hope for the Lost. That is the mission of The ASW Foundation, Inc. in a nutshell. In everything we do, we strive to show the youth in  our communities that they have potential. Over the last five years, our  organization has grown into a movement to stop the senseless gun  violence in our communities. We believe that by supporting our youth,  encouraging them, and providing them with creative and constructive  outlets, we can change the narrative of the future. 

In  2019, our founder, Aaliyah Stewart, began developing a plan to build a  youth center in her hometown of Gary, Indiana. This community center  will be a safe haven for the youth of the city—a place where they can  come together for recreation and to receive guidance and direction. When  the center opens, it will be something unlike anything anyone has seen  in the City of Gary in quite some time.
