TEEN ACHIEVERS AFTER SCHOOL CLUB
BELIEVE IN YOUR POTENTIAL
One of the Y’s most beloved programs, the Teen Achievers After School Club provides area high school students with the guidance and support they need to discover their identities, embrace their passions, and become their best selves.
With the support of the Y’s dedicated Teen and Young Adult staff team, students learn to manage their stress, time, and emotions, and learn about the importance of making confident and wise decisions during their high school years. Through weekly meetings, informative guest speakers, college visits, and monthly workshops, students learn about life after high school and receive the encouragement to, not just complete twelfth grade, but to be truly prepared for whatever comes next.
