BAYS Success Program Overview
Purpose
The purpose of the new BAYS Success Program (BSP) Program is to provide support and resources to kids and families to reduce or eliminate the barriers to success. We will begin the process of reducing “generational poverty” by aiding resources to kids and families through mentoring, financial support, obtaining employment assistance, and job training opportunities.

The kids and families that are in BAYS care or attended a BAYS program in the past will apply for resources through an application process. The application will be reviewed by the BSP program committee for consideration of resources granted to the applicant. The program committee will be made up of BAYS Leadership Staff and one community member.
