| YICG is proud to present BANYAN - Build A Novel Youth Adult Network! It is an exciting opportunity for middle and high school students currently enrolled in our Saturday programs to be a part of this program geared toward having small groups of students working with a mentor in various team-building and mentoring activities. The goal of this program is to bring out leadership skills among our students using fun projects under the guidance of a group of adults from our community.
Activities planned during the session hours include Cooking Contests, Basketball Competitions, Spring Walkathon, Improvised Public Speaking and so on. We also plan to bring in special guests from time to time to work with the entire group.
Time: 3:15 pm - 4:30 pm
