Leading the TYAN Way
Leading the TYAN way means putting youth at the center of everything we do. Through our work with the Texas Youth Action Network (TYAN), we focus on empowering youth voice, fostering leadership, and creating meaningful opportunities for growth. By guiding youth to set goals, make informed decisions, and take ownership of their journey, we are building confident, capable leaders for the future.
Setting Goals
At Y.E.S. Mentor Group, our Texas Youth Action Network (TYAN) goal setting process helps our youth take ownership of their future. Through structured goal setting, youth identify their strengths, set clear and achievable objectives, and develop action plans to succeed. This process not only builds confidence and accountability, but also equips them with lifelong skills in decision-making, planning, and personal growth.
Etiquette Workshop
Our young ladies recently attended an etiquette workshop where they learned essential life skills that will benefit them for years to come. The session focused on proper dining techniques, table manners, personal hygiene, grooming, and appropriate dress. These valuable lessons are helping to build confidence, self-respect, and the ability to present themselves with grace and professionalism in any setting.
Learning To Use Our Voices
Our YAP meeting focused on elevating youth voice, giving our youth the opportunity to share their thoughts, ideas, and experiences in a safe and supportive space. This discussion encouraged open communication, built confidence, and reinforced the importance of empowering youth to be active participants in decisions that impact their lives and their community.
