Description

WHAT WE DO

A Step Beyond (ASB) provides critical support for students and their families to break the cycle of poverty and realize their full potential in every aspect of their lives. We are a Creative Youth Development organization based in Escondido, founded to prepare underserved youth for success in college, career, and life through dance education, academic support, and family services. Our unique service model is based on after school programming paired with wraparound services and a 10+ year commitment to each student and their family, all at no cost. We serve primarily students from under resourced Latino communities in North County San Diego, through a curriculum that addresses the full scope of their talents. This includes artistic, academic, interpersonal, and leadership development, with the goal that all participants will graduate from high school and matriculate to a four-year college or university or other high-skill training program.

Our team is comprised of 20 highly dedicated staff members, serving over 230 students from our beautiful facility located on the campus of the California Center for the Arts. Demand for our program is strong, and with our strategically planned expansion, we will reach our current maximum capacity of students in 2026.
