Sponsorship Options:
Discovery Dialogue
To engage the community with the Discover Your Purpose program, Discovery Dialogue Workshops are offered to both student and adult audiences.
Led by a CAYS Workshop Leader, these half-hour to two hour workshops engage schools and organizations with their community through an engaging process that follows the same format as our curriculum. Participants create questions they would like to ask the guest ahead of the workshop, and during the workshop engage through a process of defining success and the impact purpose has on their lives.
Student workshops offered to a class, school assembly, or youth organization.
A similar workshop flow is offered to adults where they gain person value as well as get inspired to support local schools.
Sponsorship: $750 — $2000

Mentorship Program
The Discover Your Purpose Mentoring Program is a six-week program engaging teachers and community members who serve as mentors, each with two to four students. They are trained by a Mentor Trainer/Coordinator who is trained by CAYS. This replicable mentorship program provides effective (and fun) training to help people within organizations or school systems become Discover Your Purpose mentor trainers.
Mentor training sets a high bar for facilitator excellence. We cover the basics such as:
program expectations
outcomes, cultural issues
skills requirements and needs
pathways to future employment that build student self-esteem and community engagement
We also make sure our mentor trainers have the skills and support they need to work with both community leaders and students. They learn:
how to set up a mentoring program
how to engage people in their community
how to train new mentors
how to lead and run CAYS mentoring programs for sustained success.
