"It takes a Village-We're That Village"
Charise Bryant, known affectionately as Miss Bryant, is the passionate driving force behind The Youth Nation Center’s transformative programming. With a rich background in youth mentorship, education, and the performing arts, she brings creativity, empathy, and intentionality to everything she leads.
Miss Bryant is grounded in the belief that every child deserves to step into their future feeling empowered and ready. Whether it’s leading affirmations, unpacking tough emotions, or celebrating achievements, she champions each child as someone full of possibility and promise.
At The Youth Nation Center, our mission is to empower, educate, and uplift young people by providing a safe, nurturing, and inspiring environment after school and during enrichment programs. We are committed to supporting the whole child—emotionally, socially, academically, and creatively—through hands-on learning, mentorship, and intentional care.
Our aftercare and youth programming focuses on:

Mini Inspiration Scrapbook: My Life in 5 Years
In this activity,
the kids will create their very own mini scrapbook that serves as a personal inspiration book. Each child will design pages filled with pictures, drawings, words, and decorations that represent their goals, dreams, and vision for their life over the next five years. From future careers and personal growth to places they want to go and things they want to achieve, this creative project encourages self-reflection, imagination, and motivation. It’s a fun, hands-on way for them to see their future on paper—and start believing in it today!
Miss Bryant created the 4-Day Back-to-School Workshop to help students feel emotionally ready, academically refreshed, and personally inspired as they head into a new school year. She saw a need—not just for supplies—but for kids to feel seen, heard, and supported as they grow into the best version of themselves. This workshop is more than a back-to-school event—it’s a confidence-building, skill-sharpening, and joy-filled experience that sets the tone for a strong year ahead.
Each day is carefully designed to focus on mindset, emotional growth, academics, and celebration—with hands-on activities, empowering discussions, inspiring movies, and moments of fun and reflection.
All children who attended any of our summer respite programming or workshops and the full 4-day workshop in august will receive a Back-to-School Package including a backpack, supplies, and an outfit—because we believe every child deserves to feel confident and prepared from the inside out!
