Community Facilitator (Part-Time Position) - (Elmhurst, NY)

Organization Description: South Asian Youth Action (SAYA) is a 501(c)3 youth development organization in New York City for students in elementary school through college. Our mission is to foster a strong sense of belonging in youth and provide them with tools to thrive academically, professionally and personally. Established in 1996, SAYA has grown into a $3.9 million organization currently running programs at 9 NYC schools, our community center in Elmhurst, Queens, and a library in Kensington, Brooklyn. While South Asian-focused, SAYA is secular, inclusive and committed to connecting youth from all backgrounds to opportunities. According to U.S. Census survey data (from 2012 to 2014), there are now more than 56,000 South Asian youth between the ages of five and 17yrs who live in New York City. Over twenty percent of them live below the federal poverty level—$24,250 for a family of four.
