“To be the change that we wish to see in the world”
About SLYO
At Sri Lankan Youth Organization – 501(C)(3) (SLYO), we believe that children are the very essence of the future. Who they are tomorrow is dependent on how they are raised and nurtured today.
As a global youth Organization , our goal is to provide young people with an empowering environment where they can fully embrace their identity and attain the skills they need, to be leaders in their community.
