A Yancy Life strives to provide students with a strategic plan to position themselves as leaders in fostering academic success, community awareness, mental health growth, persistence, and graduation, not just locally but possibly
nationwide.
The program focuses on teaching students to thrive within their own spaces, encouraging dedication, hard work, and resilience while striving to fulfill their potential and reach new heights in life and the educational process.
A Yancy Life teaches its students to lead by example and inspire and elevate each other in solidarity to strengthen and empower the community. By highlighting achievements in fields traditionally underrepresented by people of color, our student's excellence defies limiting expectations, and those students will redefine success on a broader, more inclusive scale.
