YMCA Black Achievers Program In Full
Swing For Upcoming School Year
“Each One Must Reach One and
Teach One,” is the motto ofthe Black
Achievers Program (BAP) o f the
YMCA Columbia-WillameU, and the
program is doing just that. After one
year o f running on a trial basis, the
program wi 11 k ick-off its second year
this September.
“Our mission,” noted BAP Di­
rector Fawn McDaniel, “ is to chal­
lenge African-American youth to
reach their highest potential and
achieve greatness.” The central pur­
pose ofthe Black Aciiieveis program
is to help African-American high
school students set and attain high
educational and career goals. To
emphasize this, African-Americans
jvho have achieved in the profession­
al world are used as role models.
Notes McDaniel, “through this pro­
gram o f one-on-one counsel ¡ng, train­
ing, and exposure to the career world,
students will be inspired to reach
their highest potential.”
The Black Achievers in Indus­
try program was originally founded
in 1971 by Dr. Leo B. Marsh and
YMCA boardm em berCarrieTerrell
atthe Harlem Branch YMCA in New
York City. The Harlem YMCA
sought to achieve its goal by creating
a forum to foster an ongoing interac­
tion between Black youth and Black
adult role models. Since the success­
ful inauguration o f the Harlem pro­
gram, Black Achievers programs
have been initiated in several other
cities including Chicago, Washing­
ton, D C., Atlanta, Detroit, Boston,
and Louisville, KY Regardless ofthe
make-up o f the individual BA pro­
grams, each shares the apparent goal
o f the first program founded in
Harlem -- to help youth set high
education and career goals through
role models and examples o f high
achieving adults.
“The Black Achievers programs
also attempt to counteract the influ­
ences o f many o f society’s ills today
-- teenage pregnancy, drug use and
p o v e rty ,” co m m ented M ichael
Mangum, chairo fthe Black Achiev­
ers steering committee. “ BAP give
our young people a chance to chal­
lenge themselves, set goals for them­
selves and work toward a positive
future.
O f a goal to serve sixty students
during the first year, seventy-five
Port land-area students were served.
The goal, for the 1995-1996 school
year is 150. Students from all Port-
land-area high schools are encour­
aged to participate. Field trips and
tours o f corporations, career days,
jo b shadow ing, m entoring, and
hands-on learning are just some o f
the activities that Black Achievers
will have he opportunity to experi­
ence.
Students have fifteen expecta­
tions they must meet in order to be a
Black Achiever. O f the fifteen goals,
for example, students must stay in
school and achieve a high school
diploma or G.E.D., increase their
G.P.A. by .5, make a verbal and
actual commitment to the Program,
and formulate career goals.and work
toward them. By meeting all fifteen
cultural, career, and social aware­
ness. In addition, the parents / guard­
ians o fth e Black Achiever will be
strongly encouraged to take an active
role in the Program. Since the pro­
gram will be facilitated through Port-
land-area schools, interested students
should directly contact their high
school counselor.
At the heart o f the Black Achiev­
ers Program is an annual gala event
that recognizes the adult Black
Achievers from the business and pro­
fessional community.
The Black Achievers Program
ofthe YMCA Columbia-W illamette
will host its recognition banquet on
Thursday, September 14, 1995, at
the Airport Ramada Inn. Corpora­
tions such as Portland General Elec­
tric, QG investments and Bank o f
America will honor their outstanding
employees.
