S.A.V.Y – Successful and Victorious Youth, Inc. is a national youth development nonprofit organization whose mission is to inspire young women to reach their full potential and motivate them towards excellence instead of mediocrity.

Founders Kimberly Nichols and Theda Rose, MSW are hearing the silent cries of teen girls and offering them an opportunity to have a voice and develop in personal growth and leadership in a positive structured outlet.

S.A.V.Y’s signature program, Inspire Me To Excellence^TM initiative is about girl’s development and empowering girls to set high standards for themselves in every area of their lives and in all they aspire to do because our girls are not mediocre.

The organizations goals are to actively engage teen girls in arenas that aid and promote girl’s positive self esteem, girl’s leadership and girl’s life skills development.

Vision
S.A.V.Y desires to bridge the gap between the services the school is able to provide and the surmountable needs of teen girls. S.A.V.Y’s Inspire Me To Excellence^TM initiative is a model designed to service teen girls through after school based group sessions. It is our vision to have the Inspire Me to Excellence model replicated in middle schools and high schools.

The following are things needed by girls in order to be successful and strive for excellence:

• Girls need to feel safe
• Girls need time to talk in nurturing conversations with ongoing positive relationships
• Girls need programs that encourage relationships of trust and non judgment
• Girls need relationships with positive women
• Girls need their personal and cultural strengths emphasized
• Girls need education about their bodies and making wise decisions
• Girls need to be positively affirmed
