Movement of Youth provides three primary services during the school year: Team Mentoring, Saturday Academy, and Community Outreach. Through this dynamic design, participants receive intellectually challenging programming, positive role models to help set long-term aspirations as well as the mentoring support required to nurture and fulfill those aspirations.

Movement of Youth's focus is to help students master 21st Century Skills (also referred to as the New Basic Skills). In Teaching the New Basic Skills, authors Richard Murnane (Harvard University) and Frank Levy (MIT) researched the skills required for entry-level jobs at most American companies, and found that they go beyond what the SAT tests for. These skills include:

• Oral Presentation: The ability to speak to an audience with confidence using eye contact and body language, developing coherent and well-organized content.
• Teamwork: The ability to work effectively and solve problems in a diverse team by working in groups, encouraging others, and giving and receiving feedback.
• Leadership: The ability to make decisions, establish goals, volunteer to help others, and be a role model.
• Data Analysis: The ability to solve problems using data (qualitative and quantitative), test hypotheses, draw conclusions, and interpret and communicate data.
• Advanced Literacy: The ability to use new vocabulary, communicate effectively in writing, use critical reading skills, and make inferences from what is read.
• Technology: The ability to identify and use technology as a tool.

Each Saturday Academy and Community Outreach session is designed to develop these skills through hands-on experience and skills are reinforced through Team Mentoring.
