| Welcome to SPEED’s newest youth development program, Super Saturdays!
 SPEED’s Youth Development Program, Super Saturdays, has been designed to promote physical, educational, and life skills necessary to prepare and empower youth to undertake leadership roles in their communities, and bring success in their personal lives. The program will equip students with the knowledge and skills to help young people become healthy, competent, coping and contributing individuals. In addition, it is an enriching opportunity for children from various backgrounds to come together under one roof to interact and enhance communication and socialization.
