in people so they will overcome life's challenges
PROGRAM HISTORYIn 2000, the Downtown Berkeley YMCA collaborated with UC Berkeley's Destination: College program to develop the Y-Scholars Program. The goal was to address the achievement gap at Berkeley High School.
In 2011, the YMCA of the East Bay built the YMCA Teen Center in Berkeley. The Y-Scholars Program found a new home base. Since our first graduating class in 2004, over 600 Y-Scholars have graduated from the program and enrolled in college. |
