Welcome!!  

We are so delighted that you chose to visit our website.  We at Pelican State Youth Movement (PSYM) organization hope to inspire you to join us in making a brighter day for our youth.

Pelican State Youth Movement is on a Mission:  To prepare our youth for meeting the many challenges that they will encounter, while also empowering and motivating them to make good decisions and become responsible adults who will contribute positively towards the growth and development of our community.

The closings of International Paper and Georgia Pacific mills, as well as several satellite businesses and contractors, that were forced to leave or go out of business, have left an economic void in our beloved town.  A void that has reduced or eliminated funding for many organizations and programs that benefited our youth.  We at PSYM continue to accept the challenge to stay the course in our quest to grow and increase our offering of programs, services and activities for the youth of Morehouse  & Ouachita parish and surrounding areas.  Of course, we can't do it without help from people like you.

We welcome you to join our cause and become a "game-changer" by donating or volunteering to make sure that our youth receive the attention, motivation and guidance needed to make sure that they succeed in life.

THE NEED

Our youth must realize the vital importance of preparation.  They must prepare to overcome potentially devastating obstacles in life that, too often, send them spiraling towards the depths of hopelessness that prevent many from reaching their fullest potential, today and in their future lives.  Our goal is to increase their chances for experiencing the fruitful pleasures of being successful citizens in our society.  And most importantly, become good people in general. While the summer camps have been the main focus for us in past years, our goal is to develop and expand our offering of much needed programs and activities for the youth of our beloved area.

PSYM After School Program has funded several elementary schools that tutor kids several days a week in hopes of improving their performance on state LEAP and iLEAP tests.  

The Community Action Team (CAT) participates in activities and projects which will help and revitalize our community.

We invite you to take a moment to page through our site and see more of what PSYM is about.  It's all about our youth!!
