June 24, 2009 – In just over 30 years, the YMCA of Greater Cincinnati’s Black Achievers Program has grown into one of the area’s largest programs of its kind, partnering with area organizations and adult role models to inspire and encourage teens of color toward paths of success. Now the Program that has impacted more than 5000 teens is joining other YMCA’s across the country in modifying its name to YMCA Black & Hispanic Achievers Program. This new name reflects an expanded vision that is broadening its reach to empower even more young people of color.
This coming school year, the YMCA Black & Hispanic Achievers Program will begin two new pilot programs with Cincinnati Public Schools, where 40% of its English as a Second Language students are Hispanic. The pilots will be at Withrow International and the Academy of Multilingual Immersion Studies. Multilingual volunteers are currently being recruited to provide mentoring, college readiness and career development to Hispanic students from bilingual backgrounds. Future plans are to expand the YMCA Black & Hispanic Achievers Program into more neighborhoods, including those in Northern Kentucky.
“The YMCA is committed to meeting the needs of the community and ensuring all young people have access to opportunities. We know we’re being effective by the positive changes we have seen in our teen participants,” said Toni Miles, executive director of the YMCA Black & Hispanic Achievers Program. “While we have always served Hispanic teens in our program, we also know the time is now to find new ways of energizing more students.”
