The Achievers program has six goals and objectives: • To expose youth to diverse career options

• To help youth develop a positive sense of self and build character

• To raise the academic standard of youth

• To provide youth with role models whose success and knowledge will inspire them to set and reach their goals

• To create channels for continuing community involvement by business and industry

• To recognize and promote excellence

The Achievers are in session from October through June. For more information please contact LaDawn Norwood at [email protected] or 773.326.2559

The Y offers middle school youth and teens different programs to help youth focus on enhancing their athletic and sportsmanship skills; develop healthy habits; build self-confidence and sense of belonging; create an awareness and sense of responsibility for their community; and improve academic performance. By providing young adults the opportunity learn and grow, we are creating a healthier and stronger community.
