Y-Achiever is a college preparatory program that helps teens and young adults prepare for their futures.  The core elements of the Y-Achiever’s program are to help youth pursue higher education and career goals and establish relationships with area leaders, organizations, and media networks while focusing on youth development and awareness. These skills will be achieved by applying the following tools:  career exploration, SAT/ACT preparation, tutoring, networking, mentoring, college tours, communication workshops, and leadership development workshops.

The program is open to anyone who lives in York County.  Registration dates are 7/19 until 11/15. Individuals interested can obtain an application at the AJG YMCA front desk.
