Expand Your Mind Ministries, better known as EYM is an organization set up by Expand Entertainment to help keep the youth and young
adults off the streets. Our objective is to create a safe recreational center where young adults and youth can come and work out their problems and situations in a safe, fun and healthy environment. With an emphasis in providing a facility to play sports, seek mentorship and higher education with the proper fundamentals and guidance needed to develop strong character traits through ministry. MISSION
Our mission is to mentor young men and women, encourage and develop them, and prevent gangs, drugs and alcohol abuse through spiritual growth using the ministries as its core tool. We want to offer a safe and friendly environment with support and care for all nationalities in the community by providing the tools to help each individual create his or her own personal relationship with God for both believers and non-believers. Our belief is to provide a caring staff, teaching the youth to learn and grow with optimism for continued “Hope and Progress.” Our belief is in Life-enhancing programs and character development experiences that will be guided by mentorships... We believe that young adults and the youth of today are seeking Love and Acceptance; Someone to listen to them; someone who cares; Someone who wants to be their friend and that’s what this program will provide for the entire community as a whole. We believe that under God and in our eyes there are “no colors” and race is never a factor. FACTS
