In partnership with the University of Pennsylvania’s Black Student League, Youth Action has organized a youth-led College Day called the A-List Next Generation (Achievement List Next Generation) scheduled to take place on Saturday, February 25th, 2012 at the University of Pennsylvania’s Bodek Lounge located at 3417 Spruce Street, Philadelphia, PA 19144. Admission for this event is FREE and open to the public. This event is intended to connect Philadelphia college students with local high school students for mentorship on getting into and excelling in college. The concept for the program was inspired by Youth Action college members who became intensely interested in working to develop the next generation of student of color leaders on college campuses. Youth Action recognizes that high school students of color need mentors other than adults to spirit their preparation for successful entrance into college and while in college.
