About UYS
Uplift Your Sister was created in order to give new opportunities to women extending beyond the age of 21. We want to open the doors for them and redirect the paths of their lives positively.
We will help with job placement, basic computer skills, and job-seeking techniques. We will also help with financial planning, life skills, money management, and retirement goals.
We eventually want to offer homes to young women in need, with hopes of teaching them how to survive on their own by helping applicable patrons transition from foster care and juvenile systems. We expect to provide counseling and group therapy for young women needing psychological restoration from past experiences, disallowing them to move forward.
We provide spiritual and emotional guidance. We teach acceptance and responsibility for actions that cause destruction and promote changing behaviors that produce negative consequences. Our basic plan is that as we uplift one woman, she will uplift another. Together we can change the world; one woman at a time.
Girls to Women
Youth Develoment
We will discuss ideas and opportunities to grow and develop as young women. We deal with life goals, life-developing skills, self-esteem, bullying, personal and professional relationships, and a host of other things to help build productive young women. You don't want your daughter to miss out!
