Giving Youth a Bright Future

S.A.Y. Yes!® (Save America’s Youth – Yes!) Centers are biblically-based programs that take place in an after-school setting through inner-city churches. It is a safe place for at-risk children to gain a solid foundation so they can have a successful future.

S.A.Y. Yes! Centers offer 4 main components: healthy snack or meal, academic support, Bible time, and recreation. We provide S.A.Y. Yes! training and curriculum for churches that desire to minister to kids during the after school hours.
