YMCA of the USA to Expand College Access Program for Underserved Populations

"In adopting College Goal Sunday, the YMCA inherits a robust, well-staffed and highly regarded program that perfectly complements the YMCA's strategic goals to help individuals, families and communities realize their full potential, said Neil Nicoll, president and chief executive officer of YMCA of the USA. "This program has a significant impact on the lives of individuals and communities, and it will add to our continuum of programming that assists youth in attaining their educational and career goals. We look forward to working with Lumina Foundation in rolling out the program in the year ahead so that YMCAs, regardless of their current educational access programming, can find a way to participate and make college a reality for thousands of youth."
