Save our Sons and Daughters is a mentorship program primarily focusing on opportunity youth ages 13-24.  Through mentorship, one-on-one counseling sessions, peer-to-peer support, group mentoring, and counseling, participants will identify and address barriers and obstacles that often derail youth from reaching their full potential. With a strong focus on conflict resolution, de-escalation training, emotional intelligence education, and stress and anger triggers training, these youth will be equipped to handle life’s many twists and turns.

This program also provides soft skills training, life skills training, financial literacy/stability education, job readiness training, health education, and wellness and mindfulness to advance self-efficacy and self-sufficiency.

In the second phase of SOSD, participants are offered job placement services to assist with obtaining and sustaining gainful employment.  Participants will also be paired with a mentor to ensure they receive continued support, guidance, and assistance on their road to leading productive lives. SOSD graduates will continue to be a part of the family by becoming mentors for those who come after them.
