Young Leaders Academy (YLA)
The African philosophy, "It takes a village to raise a child" explains the critical role parents, teachers, volunteers, donors, community members, and YLA members play in helping achieve our mission. There is not another program in Racine like the YLA. We are a member program with the goal of changing the attitudes of youth toward and empowering them to achieve success in school and life.
Members embark on the three components of the Young Leaders Academy beginning in Grade 2 but may begin at any time.
- School Achievers: Grades 2-5. Takes place in RUSD elementary schools.
- Young Achievers: Grades 6-8. Takes place at the George Bray YMCA.
- Teen Achievers: Grades 9-12. Takes place at the George Bray YMCA.
