SMSJ ​Youth Association 

Everything that is done in the world is done by hope

The reason behind the cause 
​What we do ... and how we do it

SMSJYA primary’s focus is the growth and development of young people by engaging them in diverse activities, such as educational, recreational, professional, and community-service oriented events. We highly encourage youth to prioritize their well-being, appreciate differences among individuals, and recognize their worth and potential in life.

Events held at SMSJYA include but are not limited to: movie nights, BBQs and carnivals, overnight retreats, mission trips, mentorship and life skills education sessions, and many others.

Our aim is not only to raise awareness about youth-related issues but also to provide education and resources to help young people address these challenges. Some of the topics we cover in our sessions include drug and alcohol dependency and addiction, healthy relationships, coping with anxiety and depression, and managing family and social stresses. While these are some of the key issues we focus on, our efforts are not limited to these areas alone, and we strive to provide support and guidance on a range of youth-related concerns.

At the core of our organization's mission is the belief that investing in the youth is key to building a better future. We recognize the immense potential that young people possess, and we are committed to providing them with the support and resources they need to thrive. Our goal is to empower young individuals by helping them develop the knowledge, skills, and well-being necessary to make positive contributions to their communities. By instilling a strong foundation of values and principles, we hope to inspire the next generation of leaders who will work towards creating a brighter and more equitable future for all.

To achieve our objectives and support the various programs listed above, we rely on fundraising events to generate the necessary resources. These events not only provide financial support but also offer an opportunity to engage and involve young people in the process. By participating in these events, young individuals can develop valuable skills such as business acumen, outreach, and public speaking, which will benefit them in their future endeavors. Our organization is sustained by the generosity of donors and supporters who share our vision and recognize the importance of investing in the youth. We are grateful for the continued support of individuals and groups who enable us to make a positive impact in the lives of young people and their communities.
