Access Youth Academy 2023 Gala
Access Youth Academy was created in 2006 to transform the lives of underserved youth through academic mentorship and urban squash.
In a 12-year commitment that begins in seventh grade, Access students embark on a curriculum of intellectual, physical, and social development where academic enrichment, sports training, and financial support combine to help them realize their full potential. Access Youth Academy’s galas are unique in that the evening’s hosts and key speakers are current students and program graduates, which provides an opportunity for guests to learn about the organization’s impact through firsthand stories.
Emceed by Susan Taylor, the evening’s festivities include a silent auction and cocktail hour, dinner, program, and fund-a-need paddle raise.
