About the Program:

YMCA Achievers is a program designed to provide critical support to low income and first-generation college-bound students. Annually, the Achievers program serves 250 high school students from Boston and the surrounding communities, targeting 6th-12th grade students with aspirations to attend college.

YMCA Achievers meet twice a month on Saturdays at Northeastern University from 8:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. There are 12 sessions from October to May, for a total of 40 hours during the school year.  Mentoring sessions will adhere to social distancing or will be virtual. 

YMCA Achievers provide an invaluable connection between the corporate world and the local community by developing and conducting programming that allows young people to become linked to education, business, and industry. YMCA Achievers play a significant role in the evolution of diversity and inclusion in our city by fostering relationships between current professionals and the future of our city’s workforce.
