Save Our Youth

Save our Youth received a grant to support teen activities in their SOY Center in two main areas: to support their Peer Tutoring, a part of their SOY Academic Program and to support their Community Performance Program which is a part of their Art and Music Skill Development program. The mission of SOY is to provide a safe and welcoming space for teens to find hope, to nourish a sense of self and an ability to grow and to develop interests and skills to become productive members of society.

 

Many students from SOY have grown up to serve their communities as council members, social workers and even their own program director Lucia Martin was a SOY student who now works every day at supporting the teens in their community.
