Dear friends,
It is great to be back!

I remember my first days at SAYA! more than 12 years ago. The programs were just beginning to take shape. Basketballs were bouncing, Bollywood music was blasting, and youth were showing up in record numbers. It is clear now, as it was then, that there is a need for SAYA!

SAYA! aims to give youth the courage to dream and the skills and resources to make these dreams a reality. Through academic support, exposure to the arts and cultural programming, internships and introductions to leading professionals, and a peer network and safe space, SAYA! provides an environment where demography will not dictate a child's future.

I am honored to inherit the leadership of a vibrant community organization and look forward to taking SAYA! to its next phase of development. It will take our combined effort and resources to move this community forward. I ask each of you to become part of SAYA!'s extended family through visiting our center, volunteering your services, becoming a tutor, providing in-kind donations, or contributing financial support (Click here to Donate) . The future is in our hands, and it is our hope that SAYA! youth will lead the way.

Sincerely,

Udai Tambar
Executive Director
