Youth Development & Education

The Black and Latino Achievers program is nationally know as a college and career readiness program, delivered by the Y, that supports students in setting and reaching higher education and career goals. The Cincinnati BLA program is geared toward first-generation college students and minorities and is delivered through workshops, college tours, Toastmasters, STEM, and more. Our partners and volunteers are by far the biggest assets of Y Achievers. The volunteers provide an invaluable connection between the corporate world and the local community by developing and conducting programming that allows participants to become linked to education, business and industry. With the help of our partners is we are able to provide the space and services to our Achievers free of charge.
