South Asian Youth Action (SAYA!) was founded in 1996 with the mission to create social change and opportunities for South Asian youth to realize their fullest potential. SAYA! is the only organization in the country dedicated solely to providing secular comprehensive youth development services to low-income South Asian youth—one of the fastest growing minority groups in New York City.
SAYA!’s multi-prong approach includes academic support, leadership development, arts, sports and counseling. SAYA! has served more than 5,000 youth since inception. In academic year 2009-10, SAYA! served more than 600 youth from across Queens.
