An Afrocentric Rite of Passage Program
Grades 5th - 8th / middle school students at Roosevelt Magnet School
The Youth Achievers program is to designed to strengthen positive self-esteem among young children through a culturally specific curriculum based on the philosophy of "Afro centrism". The program uses Minority Achievers for leadership development and career orientation activities for students in grades 5-8. The Youth Achievers program enhance those program models by getting youth involved in positive activities at an earlier age and by developing a core group of participants that can "graduate" to traditional Minority Achievers program opportunities. Participants meet during the school year every Tuesday and Thursday from 3:30 - 4:30 p.m. Contact Philicia Moredock, Youth Services Director at 671-2702 for more information.
