S.W.I.F.T. program

At YGYL we recognize the familiar challenges some parents might experience along their parenting journey, impacting their contributions towards intentional parenting. We believe we can offer both structure and support for parents of YG’s, by providing a safe haven for their YG to become rooted and grow. Within our safe haven, we aim to build the foundation needed to help YG’s foster their dreams and aspirations, ultimately leading to a lifetime of success. We encourage and promote healthy growth by enabling their comradery with their personal mentors and life coaches who support them by sharing their stories and engaging in healthy dialogue within a series of weekly and monthly engagement activities. We’ll highlight and provide nuggets of wisdom to help your YG successfully navigate their teenage experience, while circumventing the deceitfully known trenches of teenage pregnancy.

OUR LOGIC MODEL

These sessions are intended to encourage safe discussions around maintaining virginity, sexual education, promoting abstinence, and highlighting God’s plan for marriage.

Good health is our greatest asset, so we’re empowering YG’s to lead healthier lives by building healthier habits.  By driving awareness around their health and wellness, we hope to promote healthier lifestyles leading to stronger minds, bodies, and souls.
