New! WORKSHOP SEMINAR SERIES for Black Youth

The black church is in a unique position to motivate, teach and prepare youth for academic success and college admission. This is true for two reasons: (1) Youth are in the Church and (2) the Church is very influential in their lives. Active and involved black Christian children have a foundation for success in the church. This foundation is their spiritual relationship with God. They understand that through God all things are possible. The church has a responsibility to till this fertile ground and provide the services that youth need to overcome the obstacles to achieving superior academic performance.

There is great opportunity today for black youth at the nation’s most selective colleges and universities. Money is no longer the chief obstacle to being admitted and attending these fine institutions. The biggest obstacle is under-preparedness and poor test scores.

The following is the outline for a series of workshops designed specifically for Church Youth Directors. The information garnered from these workshops will empower youth directors to design comprehensive programs that will help to insure that their young people are ready for admission to the colleges of their choice.
