Identity

Heritage

SLYA empowers our youth abouth thier history to enable them to see and learn about people that are just like themselves

All of our programs and events have cultural context that reminds our youth of their connection to home.

It is through our core values our youth have a network of people they can identify with.

Nearly all information taught in schools and colleges ignore our youth's heritage and we serve to fll that gap.
