PEOPLE WHO CARE ABOUT KIDS HELP BLACK ACHIEVERS PROGRAM SUCCEED
Full Description:
The adults who volunteer with the Black Achievers program at the Hagerstown YMCA are the kind of people every community needs.
They get things done behind the scenes.
It's people such as Ed Dorsey, Maureen Turner-Cooper, Tonya Leary, Renee Emanuel, Andrea Creamer and Rochelle Kithcart, to name a few, who make it possible for programs such as this one succeed.
On Saturday night, the YMCA held its Black Achievers Gala at the Four Points Sheraton on Dual Highway.
The program has been up and running at the local YMCA for three years now. It existed at the "Old Y" for a time. The program, along with other youth programs, including True Grit, were suspended for a time, but reactivated as funding and staff became available at the "New Y."
