What do we do?
ASCENDtials is a forward-thinking organization dedicated to empowering individuals for societal change. Inspired by the ancient African ideology of Maat, we focus on self-awareness, natural law, and balance. We aim to transform oppressive structures through awareness and action. We want a world where everyone can thrive.
We are creating opportunities for our youth. They will gain skills that make them more aware of society and nature. We will also equip them to be competitive in the job market. We want them to be self-starters who solve problems, not create them.

Explore Our Learning Programs
Students can choose from sessions that explore various aspects of nature. There are activities for the earth, fire, water, and air. All of these factors necessitate a deeper investigation and comprehension. Our programs attempt to entice students by seeking a comprehensive view of education and taking into account all four factors. Students can make a difference by focusing on one or more areas. Sessions are totally customizable based on the learner. We can supply 15-25 hours per academic term, with a weekly demand of 3-4 hours.
