Mentor

Mentors develop and teach the classes at ASA. The main qualification to be a mentor is that you love your students and are passionate about the topic you are teaching.

All classes have at least two mentors, and new mentors are paired with someone who has more experience to learn how ASA classes are structured and taught.

Mentors teach each Thursday throughout the school year.

MAC Mentor

MAC (Mentor-Assisted Childcare) help care for the children of mentors while they are teaching an ASA class. Childcare mentors prepare age appropriate activities and snacks for the children.

Childcare is only provided for mentors during the block that they are teaching.

Activities Committee

Under the direction of the Activities Chair, the Activities Committee creates exciting opportunities for the students at ASA to socialize and have fun together.

Some of the events held throughout the year are: the Fall Vision Retreat, Monthly Activities, the End of Year Celebration and Graduation, and one-time experiences for ASA students.

Mentor Support Committee

The Mentor Support Committee (MSC) is responsible for providing support to mentors so they can meet the needs of their students and feel satisfied in their responsibility as a mentor. 

Family Support Committee

The Family Support Committee (FSC) is responsible for connecting with and mentoring prospective and new ASA families so they can more easily matriculate into the ASA community. 

The FSC is also responsible to provide ongoing support for ASA families. However, families should reach out to other committees or mentors directly whenever possible with specific needs or concerns.

Facilities Committee

The building gets a lot of wear and tear!

Coordinated by the Facilities Chair, the Facilities Committee helps oversee the cleaning and upkeep of the building used for ASA classes and events–most of which is done by the students. They also help with other facility related assignments given by the Facilities Chair.

Tech Committee

The tech committee is responsible for the software that supports ASA. They ensure that information is organized online in ways that are accessible to the members, while also respecting privacy. The Secretary of the Board serves as the Head of this committee. The Registrar and Webmaster are members of this Committee. 

Finance Committee

The Chair and the Treasurer of the Board must serve on the Financial Committee in keeping with Utah non-profit law. A Bookkeeper is also appointed to help reconcile the books and handle reimbursements. The Registrar also serves on the Finance Committee because of their involvement with tuition.
