SYA's budget supports many areas, including the day-to-day operations of our campuses. Charging a registration fee helps to offset expenses allowing more funds to be applied to operating the schools. We've also found that a registration fee greatly reduces the number of no shows at events, which also helps SYA's budget by more accurately forecasting the actual number of attendees for catering and venue costs.

Virtual Activity-Based Classes 
There may be opportunities to host classes, such as virtual cooking classes, that may have a fee assessed by the vendor. Unfortunately, we are unable to process refunds if you cancel your registration; we can designate your payment as a donation to the SYA Fund. Please let us know immediately if your plans change so that we may fill your space with someone from the wait list.

In-Person Events
Our commitments to vendors are based on the number of registrations received.  If you have registered for one of our regional gatherings, we will be happy to designate your attendance fee as a donation to the SYA Fund. 

Yes, please let us know by submitting your regrets. This will eliminate the reminder emails we send to those we haven't heard from! This goes for virtual events, too!

Of course! Please register your guest using the appropriate selection from the drop-down menu. In-person events limits you to three guests. For virtual events, please consider watching together to allow for more registrants.

Depending on capacity and under special circumstances we can allow additional guests. Please contact events@sya.org for more information. 

Classes in reunion years are encouraged to host virtual reunions and the Alumni Office can help by hosting it on one of its Zoom accounts! Non-reunion classes are encouraged to host virtual Zoom chats; the Alumni Office will provide you with your class contact information and suggestions. 

Have you moved? We invite alumni, parents and friends to events near their home, school or work, depending on the address information we have on record. Please let us know if we need to update our information. We'd love to invite you to events nearby!

Are you receiving our newsletter and evites? If not, we may have an older email address on record or our emails may be ending up in your spam folder. Be sure to mark events@sya.org, news@sya.org and alumni@sya.org as safe email addresses.
