Description:
Young, Gifted, & Black (YGB) is designed to engage African American and Black 9th and 10th graders interested in the University of Washington. The purpose of this conference is to promote positive self-esteem, social consciousness, and cultural awareness, while simultaneously emphasizing the importance of higher education. The workshops and interactions with African American and Black UW students, staff, and the community will provide both the resources and role models to help students make a commitment to pursue higher education. This is a wonderful opportunity to experience the UW and discover all the possibilities awaiting.
This program is open to all students in grades 9 and 10 who are interested in attending the University of Washington Seattle. However, students from Black/African American backgrounds may find this program of particular interest.
