YMCA Teen Achievers

Allowing me to be a part of this is so touching to me. Coming straight from the ghetto I know first hand what it's like to feel like there isn't a way out. When Cristal from the YMCA invited me to mentor and inspire young Latinos of this community I didn't give it a second thought. It only takes ONE person to believe in you to make a difference! Come out this Saturday with your kids!

The purpose of the YMCA Achievers programs is to assist Black, Hispanic and other youth and teens in preparing, pursuing and achieving post-secondary education and career goals of their choice.

YMCA Achiever programs help youth and teens raise their academic standards, develop a positive sense of self, build character, explore diverse college and career options, and meet and interact with professionals of color who serve as role models to inspire them to greater heights.
