YMCA Black Achievers motivates teens in grades 9 -12 during the academic school-year to strive for their full potential and work hard to reach their higher education and career goals. Each year our Black Achiever graduates secure over $1.5 million in college scholarships, internships, and awards for academic achievement and community involvement. In 2021, 306 students participated in YMCA Black Achievers and Youth Achievers (grades K-8) and 17 of those students received financial assistance. 

Help me provide peer connections, educational and career mentoring, and confidence building to 10 youth who may need financial assistance this year. The YMCA turns NO ONE away due to their inability to pay. 

$85 allows one teen to participate in YMCA Black Achievers. Join me in making a difference today!
