Our Programs
The Digital Academy introduces at-risk middle school students to high-tech careers. Through the program, students become excited about learning and are more likely to graduate from high school and go on to college.
National Achievers Society is an Honor Society for African-American youth and other youth of color in grades 10-12 with a 3.0 or higher cumulative grade point average . Last year’s class included 125 students.
NULITES (National Urban League Incentives to Excel and Succeed) is a program that provides youth with leadership and social development skills and the opportunity to develop long-term goals. Pictured here, students are enjoying a Christmas luncheon while learning about proper etiquette in a non-threatening environment.
READ & RISE is a literacy initiative designed to ensure that children have the necessary early literacy and pre-reading skills to prepare them to do well in school and meet the challenges of the 21st century. Pictured here, students eagerly listen as a volunteer reads them a book.
