YOUTH

Building Healthy Relationships

At SAHARA, we believe that everyone has the right to a healthy and fulfilling relationship. By understanding what healthy relationships look like, we can prevent and break the cycle of domestic violence.

Be a Part of the Change

Youth have the power to create change in their communities. SAHARA provides opportunities for youth to get involved and make a difference in the fight against domestic abuse.

Our Youth Program is dedicated to empowering young individuals ages 14-21 by providing the tools, support, and guidance they need to thrive. We offer a variety of services designed to help youth navigate the challenges of adolescence, develop their potential, and build a positive future. From mentorship programs to leadership development, our team provides a safe, supportive environment where young people can grow emotionally, socially, and academically.


The program includes workshops on life skills, career readiness, and emotional well-being, along with opportunities for peer support through group activities and community events. We also offer individual counseling for those who need more personalized guidance, addressing issues such as stress, bullying, family dynamics, and more. Our goal is to foster a sense of belonging, self-confidence, and resilience in every young person we serve.


By working closely with families and communities, we ensure that our youth are not only equipped with the skills they need but also have the support system necessary for success. We are committed to making sure that every young individual has the opportunity to reach their full potential, regardless of background or circumstances.

Our culturally inclusive programs are available in English, हिंदी, اردو, ગુજરાતી, ਪੰਜਾਬੀ, தமிழ், తెలుగు, বাংলা, and español, ensuring that individuals from diverse backgrounds receive support in their preferred language. Whether you’re seeking support for yourself, a family member, or a community, our programs are here to guide you every step of the way. Together, we’re building stronger, healthier, and more resilient communities.

Mentorship and Leadership Development

Our Youth Program provides mentorship and leadership development to help young individuals build confidence and discover their potential. Through one-on-one mentoring and group activities, we guide youth in setting goals, making positive choices, and preparing for a successful future. Our mentors offer support and encouragement, empowering young people to take on leadership roles within their communities.

Life Skills and Career Readiness

Our Youth Program equips young individuals with essential life skills and career readiness tools. From time management to financial literacy and communication skills, we help youth prepare for adulthood and the workforce. We offer workshops, interactive sessions, and hands-on experiences that allow young people to build the skills they need to succeed in both their personal and professional lives.

Emotional Support and Counseling

Our Youth Program offers emotional support and counseling for young people facing challenges such as stress, bullying, family issues, and mental health concerns. We provide a safe space for youth to talk about their feelings and receive guidance from trained professionals. Our goal is to support youth in developing emotional resilience and coping strategies to navigate the ups and downs of adolescence.
