Empowering Youth Through Holistic Opportunities
At SAYEC, we believe in providing diverse programs that support the growth, education, and leadership potential of underserved youth. From academics to recreation, our programs are designed to foster resilience, build skills, and inspire dreams.
Girls Swimming Club:
A culturally sensitive swimming program for young girls, offering a safe and supportive environment that respects diverse backgrounds. Focused on water safety, confidence, and tailored instruction, it empowers participants through teamwork, self-esteem building, and essential life skills, led by culturally aware instructors.
Youth Sports Programs:
A sports program that helps children develop athletic skills, teamwork, and leadership through soccer and other activities. Kids improve fitness, coordination, and discipline while learning to collaborate, communicate, and persevere. In a supportive environment, they build confidence, form friendships, and gain valuable life lessons on and off the field.
Parent Education Program:
A series of workshops and resources empowering parents to support their children’s development and well-being. Covering topics like emotional health, communication, and positive discipline, the program provides practical tools, expert advice, and peer support. Parents gain insights into child development and strategies to create a nurturing environment that fosters growth, resilience, and happiness.
Academic Support and Tutoring:
Personalized tutoring designed to help students excel in core subjects like math, science, and language arts while building confidence and a love for learning. Our programs focus on targeted support, fostering curiosity, resilience, and problem-solving skills. With individualized attention in a supportive environment, we empower students to achieve their academic goals and build a strong foundation for lifelong success.
Our Community
We support a diverse community of children and families, many from immigrant backgrounds facing economic challenges. Bilingual and multilingual, these children speak Somali, Spanish, Arabic, and English and are full of potential.
By collaborating with our community, we create programs that address their unique needs, promoting inclusion, cultural pride, and a sense of belonging. We empower youth to grow into confident, capable members of society.
