¡Para Siempre un ASPIRAnte!
Dr. Antonia Pantoja, ASPIRA's founder, indicated that all those individuals "touched" by ASPIRA are considered ASPIRAntes.
For us, ASPIRA is something more than just an after school club. ASPIRA is a family. All Aspirantes are members of the ASPIRA family.
What it means to be an ASPIRAnte
An ASPIRAnte is someone who comes to ASPIRA not by force, but one who chooses to come.
An ASPIRAnte is someone who chooses not to do drugs, and uses that motive in a way to help others to make the same decision.

An ASPIRAnte is someone who comes to ASPIRA not to be with friends, but rather to be with family.
An ASPIRAnte is someone who is not limited by the education he or she receives, but instead uses that knowledge he or she is given and seeks ways to gain more.
