SAYA aims to foster a strong sense of belonging in youth and provide them with tools to thrive academically, professionally, and personally. Through our innovative, holistic approach, we work toward education equity by providing opportunities to less privileged youth, ensuring they are academically, emotionally, and socially prepared to become engaged members of society.
