Multicultural Youth Empowerment Strategy [M-YES] Inc. Information

M-YES (Multicultural Youth Empowerment Strategy) was founded by a new Australian and former migrant, Mr. Tamba Thomas. Tamba observed that mentoring was highly needed to assist youths from disadvantaged backgrounds to be guided by adults and to do so in a safe and friendly manner. The mentor is trained to acquire skills to motivate, empower and guide young people to lead and maintain a successful life. M-YES Inc has a passion for change and an ongoing commitment towards creating a support networks to enrich the social standing of these youths most of whom find it daunting and unsafe to make the move in establishing social connections outside the confines of family and immediate friends. M-YES Inc empowers youths from diverse backgrounds to understand and embrace the opportunities that Australia has to offer. The organisation is a charity endorsed in advancing education, advancing social welfare and it is also a public benevolent institution. M-YES Inc is now the leading advocate in multicultural youth affairs and is also recognised as the leading mentoring service provider in Queensland. Over the past 5 years, we have developed and implemented a range of policies, frameworks and strategies aimed at improving and maintaining opportunities for advanced learning, social networking and community inclusion. Our framework includes one-on-one mentoring, educational programs and sporting activities. Mentoring is the key to unlocking friendships and to allowing vulnerable youths to break free from adversity and stand tall in society. It delivers a win-win for government and for society as a whole with a low cost approach that actually works. Every year, we expand on our achievements by delivering innovative programs for schools and government. This year, we intend to expand our membership base and continue our invaluable work in making Australia stronger and friendlier.
