YAP Cookout - October 3rd
YAP Program - November 20th 

The Youth Achiever Program helps the boys and girls who serve as Southside Elementary school safety patrols, specifically those of Pine Forest with the cost of the trip to Washington DC. Then later upon applying to college, these same students are eligible to apply for our annual YAP college scholarships to the schools of their choice (usually $1,000-$1,500 depending on demand).  This program is funded in part by our semi-annual Youth Achiever Program cook-outs, and the Fall one is just around the corner on October 3, 2013.

This is your opportunity to make an investment in this worthy program. As SBMC members you can make a difference by getting involved.  There are 3 ways to get involved: you can help on the YAP committee, volunteer the day of the cookout 10/3/2013 or Invest by being a Sponsor in this program.  Investment Sponsorships for this Fall only are $125.
