Professional Development
At SLYO, we are committed to investing in young people and bolstering their skills. Education and self-improvement are inevitably linked to higher rates of employment and better quality of life. Through our professional development initiatives, we aim to help them achieve their highest potential, providing them with the tools to become confident and resilient young adults.

Financial Literacy
It is imperative that young people maintain a strong grasp on financial literacy in order to be successful in their chosen career paths and daily lives. Through a variety of different offerings, we provide our youth with the tools they would need to educate themselves about these topics. By doing so, we empower our youth to make informed decisions and choices as they navigate the world.

Rise to Lead
Rise to Lead, SLYO’s sister nonprofit, was created to provide our youth with the tools and resources needed to succeed through education, advocacy, and leadership opportunities to better strengthen their community. Rise to Lead’s vision is to allow our community to learn and grow while upholding our four pillars of Diversity & Equality, Education, Leadership, and Animal Care. Each pillar is an important part of life and important to building a stronger community and sense of self.

Sustainability
At the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Summit on September 25, 2015, world leaders adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which includes a set of 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to end poverty, fight inequality and injustice, and tackle climate change by 2030. By today, more and more young people, youth-led initiatives, and corporates have pledged their support for the global movement. SLYO is happy to contribute to this Global Agenda and support the global transition to a more sustainable way of living.
Over the years SLYO has conducted and completed a large number of educational programs, environmental programs, and community welfare projects. Each of these activities has contributed to the UN’s 2030 Agenda, and the following are the goals which our organization advocates for through our activities of social impact! Through our platform and programs, we hope that SLYO youth will be able to learn more about SDGs and be on their way to leaving a positive impact on the world around them.
