Saturday Leadership Academy Offers Guidance, Training to Young Black Males

Richland One is assisting the 100 Black Men of Greater Columbia and State Farm Insurance Company in sponsoring the Saturday Leadership Academy for middle and high school African-American males.

The Saturday Academy is a new long-term mentoring program that will offer young men guidance in making good decisions, personal discipline, setting goals and time management. Youngsters selected to participate in the program also will receive advice and training in getting a job, learning better study habits and maybe even the chance at a college scholarship.

Meetings are held on Saturdays at Richland One’s Heyward Career and Technology Center, 3560 Lynhaven Drive. Parents interested in getting more information about dates and times of the meetings should contact Tony Brown, executive director of the 100 Black Men of Greater Columbia, at 540-1885.
