YMCA BLACK ACHIEVERS PROGRAM

Participants in the Black Achievers Program meet weekly or bi-weekly throughout the year at our
John C. Cudahy, Northside, Parklawn, Rite Hite and West Suburban YMCAs. We face educational disparity head-on by equipping teens with skills and competencies needed to gain acceptance to
and graduation from institutions of higher learning, eventually leading to successful entry into
the workforce.
