SPAVA

SPAVA

We help the youngsters with conflict resolution and in asset building. The organization provides awards for going to college. This is a mentoring program.

SPAVA, a Nonprofit Organization

This is a nonprofit taxexempt organization dedicated to develop a better society by creating the spirit of success among our youth by nonviolent methods. We are teaching that success is a journey in self-improvement and not self-aggrandizement. We are teaching to emulate the best in others. The mentors act as role models and talk about hard work that leads to satisfaction. We are dedicated to instill pride and joy in the minds of the youth by demonstrating the value of giving and sharing. We are involved in discussions to open new channels of communication, negotiation and self-advocacy. We are trying to find opportunities for our youth to express themselves freely. We are convinced of the need to ''like ourselves for who we are''. We are participatin in the local schools to have ''conversation with the students''. We are learning about persistence, perseverance and resilience by learning the lives of the Nobel peace laureates. Respect, honor and integrity are the core principles of our message. We are helping the students to form SPAVA clubs in the respective schools. We are giving scholarships in the name of Martin Luther King and Mahatma Gandhi to those students who write a qualifying essay and participate in a project that demonstrates brotherhood/sisterhood or promotes nonviolence. We have formed alliance with Volunteer Talent Center, University of Louisville, Spalding University, Archdiocese of Louisville, Walden Theater and Junior Achievement. Our board of directors is seeking more mentors to help in our efforts to promote our children to succeed.
