Cleveland | Youth and Families
Sayf Bryant started the organization Right Turn to help guide inner city youth in as productive a manner as possible. The program’s aim is to involve youth in quality programs that promote an interest and excitement about education and more importantly, to instill in them that making good decisions today will lead to the best results tomorrow. Through a partnership with the wrestling team at Shaw High School, Right Turn works with youth to convince them that they have different options and they do not have to be a product of their environment. Guest speakers, community mentors and counseling sessions are the tools used for outreach. Program youth also work with professionals from different fields so they are exposed to various positive lifestyle options and life paths which they can pursue. The focus is not around the end result but the path taken to get there. Through partnerships, encouragement and education, while in high school and beyond, the next generation is being prepared for success.
