THE MENTORING COMPONENT IS A DEVELOPMENTAL PARTNERSHIP WHERE ONE PERSON SHARES THEIR KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, INSIGHTS, VALUES, AND PERSPECTIVES WITH ANOTHER PERSON OR GROUP OF PERSONS. SAYM GROUP MENTORING PROGRAMS ARE HELD THREE EVENINGS PER WEEK AND ARE SEGREGATED BY GENDER AND GRADE LEVEL. OUR BIBLE BASED LESSONS AND RAP DISCUSSIONS WHERE WE INJECT SPIRITUAL PRINCIPLES TEACH CHARACTER, RESPONSIBILITY, HONESTY, INTEGRITY, SELF RESPECT, FAITH, AND LOVE AND COMPASSION. WE TEACH THAT THERE IS A GOD, TO WHOM WE ARE RESPONSIBLE, AND THAT GOD IS IN THE BUSINESS OF TRANSFORMING PEOPLE WHO PLACE THEIR FAITH IN HIM AND WHO HONOR GOD WITH THEIR CHOICES IN LIFE. ADDITIONAL INDIVIDUAL MENTORING OCCURS AT VARIOUS TIMES DURING THE WEEK AS WELL. 3980 ACADEMIC INCENTIVE FOR MENTEES (AIM) - THIS SIGNATURE PROGRAM OF SAYM PROVIDES A MONETARY REWARD FOR GOOD GRADES EARNED EACH SCHOOL QUARTER.
