About Us:
The Advantage Program is a youth mentorship program geared to expose middle and high school aged children to life’s opportunities. Mentors and mentees meet weekly on Saturday’s for a two-hour time period (2 hours for girls and 2 hours for boys, separately). During these sessions the curriculum includes topics such as entrepreneurship, financial literacy, civil engagement, culinary arts, athletics, and business principles.
Once per month, the Advantage Program aims to expose participating youth to an event or venue outside of York County such as, HBCU’s, NASA, music concerts, college sporting events, historic museums, and other professional sporting events. Collaborations with organization within York County also play a vital role in our organization as we aim to expose our youth to the many opportunities around them.
The overall goal of the Advantage Program is to expose our youth to different life opportunities as well as multiple career paths. The program hopes to be able to provide necessary school items during the school year as well as a scholarship to college. By helping each youth to create a plan for their lives and identifying possible career paths and opportunities, we believe we can keep each child focused on positivity and achieving their goals.

Our Mission:
To provide our youth with guidance and give them an ADVANTAGE in their lives.

Our Main Goals:
Mentorship & Advocacy - Being there for each mentee whether at our weekly meetings or for an in school meeting, we are there to ensure that you have someone on your side who believes in you always.
Exposure - Most of what we know comes from a memorable experience. Exposure is the key to broadening one's perspective and getting to see all that life has to offer.
Sustainable Life Plan - If you fail to plan, you plan to fail. We work with each of our mentees to uncover what they are passionate about and then we ensure the necessary steps are being taken to bring their plans to fruition.
