Here at T.O.Y.A, our mission is to build a social connection amongst today's youth by providing; nutritional meals outside of school hours, age based emotional support activities, and also including parents and siblings in group counseling to help them with their emotional development and coping skills. We aim to reach our youth outside of a computer or electronic screen and through personal interactions and meaningful connections.

With mental health awareness on the rise; we hope to connect with our youth on a more emotional and thoughtful level. Our center programs are designed to help youth connect with their inner feelings. We want children to be able to express their feelings without fear of judgment. Being able to express themselves freely and socialize with their peers promotes self-confidence. We encourage group counseling for the parents/guardians and siblings as a way to bring balance amongst the children and their older influencers. Our main focus is to tap into the minds of our youth and to let them know that there is help if they ever need it. Our counselors prepare social games and activities for the children everyday that will teach them social awareness and coping skills. We want children to feel comfortable so that they may build trusting relationships with the staff and each other. Our goal is for our centers to provide the youth with coping skills to redirect their minds and become great problem solvers for themselves and their betterment, and hopefully encourage their peers to do the same. We all want our children to make good decisions and lead by example because Great Leaders Create A Better Future!
