Thanks for Visiting!

Hyannis Supporting Our Youth, Inc. (HySOY) was birthed from the Greater Hyannis Civic Association's Voices of the Village meeting in April 2011. With an active core membership, and many others willing to provide mentoring, the group is diverse in its strengths. Members include former or current educators and principals, pastors, business people, parents and grandparents. Each member has committed to supporting Hyannis youth through both existing programs and through the creation of new initiatives. Members work on Mentoring, Early Literacy Initiatives and Childhood Enrichment Opportunities to support our youth. We currently meet the first Tuesday of every month at 530pm at Faith Assembly of God (154 Bearse's Way) and new members and interested parties are always welcome. Please contact Sue Cwynar, director, at hysoytaskforce@gmail.com for more information or to volunteer.

Interested in Becoming a Mentor at Hyannis West?

We had two great Mentor Information Sessions in May, but it's not too late to sign up to become a mentor, or learn more about the program, for the 2012-2013 school year.

If you think that you would like to:

  • spend one hour per week with a student at Hyannis West Elementary
  • can commit to a minimum of one year, with a preference of four years to the same child
  • make a difference in the life of a child and provide positive support to a great school
Please contact us at hysoytaskforce@gmail.com. We will offer training in the fall and mentoring will begin in October 2012.
