ACCESS. OPPORTUNITY. EMPOWERING TEENS TO THRIVE. Volunteers for this project will help with teen events/programs such as mentoring, Level Up, YAchievers and more. LEVEL UP is an outreach program that offers youth free access to neighborhood Ys on weekend nights all year long. Programming and activities include a host of speakers and interactive workshops, creative arts, open gym, sports and fitness, swimming and a meal. This is an opportunity to support, connect and mentor teens who join our events. We have locations in branches that can be more operational, for example: distributing dinner, or supporting the check in of teens. We also have opportunities to connect and mentor teens in areas that are more conducive to conversations, example: game room, nightly activities. Y Achievers helps high school students explore college and career options to reach their full potential after graduation. With the support of youth development professionals, teens can identify, develop, and meet their higher education and work goals. It’s a multi-faceted approach to delivering a high-quality college and career readiness program with measurable outcomes. In this program, students receive experiences that develop their beliefs, knowledge, and skills to successfully complete high school and college and most importantly grow as a unique individual.
