Trusted guidance
Connect young people with adults who can listen, encourage, and help them see practical next steps.
In developmentWhy ASC3ND exists
ASC3ND began with Community Cuts for Kids.
In Everett in August 2026, Community Cuts brought ASC3ND's work into public view. The organization is building from that foundation: trusted guidance, useful experiences, and stronger community connections for young people.
Otha Minnifield · FOUNDER
“It’s powerful when you have someone that can sit down and talk to a young youth and just build off of what they want to have in life, and just let them know what it is that they can be a part of, which is the future.”
— Otha Minnifield
