The Advantage Program

The Advantage Program is a youth mentorship program geared to expose middle and high school aged children to life’s opportunities. The mentors and mentees will meet weekly on Saturday’s for a two-hour time period. During these sessions the curriculum for this program will include entrepreneurship, financial literacy, civil engagement, culinary arts, athletics, and business principles. Once a month the Advantage Program will expose participating students to an event or venue outside of York County such as, HBCU’s, NASA, music concerts, college sporting events, the black and wax museum, and professional sporting events. The overall goal of the Advantage Program is to expose the children to different life opportunities as well as multiple career paths. The program hopes to be able to provide necessary school items during the school year as well as a scholarship to college. By helping each student to create a four year plan for after high school and identifying possible career paths through the Myers Brigg exam, we believe we can keep each student focused on positivity and achieving their goals.
