The Black and Latino Achievers program is a leadership, educational support, career readiness, and college preparation program for youth. It allows youth to set and achieve high academic and professional goals, receive support from mentors, gain exposure to diverse career options, and develop the life skills needed to succeed in school and beyond. Consider applying to become a volunteer today. Complete the process to receive information about you. You can complete the safety background check for consideration for a volunteer position.
The impact of this program is centered on support from our community. Adult Achievers are expected to be consistent and positive role models for students. Mentors are needed to motivate and aid students in building the character strengths, skills, and relationships that lead to positive behavior, smart life choices, and the pursuit of higher education and career goals. Our Adult Achievers are also professionals who are seeking to strengthen or learn a new skill set to further their careers in their industries. Professional development opportunities are provided to Adult Achievers to advance in their careers to become more impactful in the communities in which they serve. Strong adult role models from the community make all the difference.
