About
MENTORING PROGRAM - SAYM OPERATES ON THE BELIEF THAT MENTORING AND EDUCATION INITIATIVES EMPLOYED TOGETHER, CAN FOSTER TRANSFORMATION IN THE WORLDVIEW OF OUR YOUTH WHO GROW UP IN GENERATIONAL POVERTY. SAYM'S IMMEDIATE GOAL IS TO ESTABLISH A DESIRE FOR PERSONAL INDEPENDENCE AND HELP BUILD TOOLS WITHIN THE CHILD TO ENABLE THEM TO PURSUE AND ACHIEVE THEIR DREAMS. THE MENTORING COMPONENT IS A DEVELOPMENT PARTNERSHIP WHERE ONE PERSON SHARES THEIR KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, INSIGHTS, VALUES, AND PERSPECTIVE WITH ANOTHER PERSON OR GROUP OF PERSONS. SAYM'S GROUP MENTORING PROGRAMS ARE HELD THREE EVENINGS PER WEEK. BIBLE BASED LESSONS TEACH SPIRITUAL PRINCIPLES OFSUCCESS SUCH AS HONESTY, INTEGRITY, SELF-RESPECT, FAITH, AND LOVE. INDIVIDUAL MENTORING OR SHEPHERDING OCCURS DURING THE WEEK TO POUR INTO SAYM YOUTH LEADERS AND FUTURE LEADERS. SAYM TEACHES THERE IS A GOD, TO WHOM WE ALL ARE RESPONSIBLE; AND THAT GOD IS IN THE BUSINESS OF TRANSFORMING PEOPLE WHO PLACE THEIR FAITH AND TRUST IN HIM, AND WHO HONOR GOD BY THEIR CHOICES IN LIFE.
