Young Talented Achievers is the fulfillment of the dreams of a McComb Mississippi woman, Millie McGhee-Morris, who founded the organization as the result of her finishing high school nearly illiterate. The organization was established in 1983, in Los Angeles California and now located in the city of Rancho Cucamonga CA. The organization was designed as an academic pageant that provides scholarships for children grade K-12th. The pageant runs every year, encouraging the participants to further their education. Since then we have implemented other wonderful programs such as our private acting and modeling sessions, the literacy program, and bringing aboard our first year college freshman into our scholarship award program. We serve more than 100 diverse participants of all ages. Our goal is to continue to serve them and increase our number annually in under serve areas of California and other states throughout our nation. We highly value our name “Young Talented Achievers Academic Achievement Program.” It is our aim to have a name that represents a standard of excellence, as well as HOPE to all who hear it. First and foremost, our goal is to be TRUE TO OUR WORD AND AGREEMENTS. From a reliable word comes a good name. Next, we are committed to a PURE MOTIVE, focused only on the development of each young person, or adult with whom we are entrusted. We seek, “Neither, fame, glory, nor personal financial gain.” We value our good name and integrity of our word. Finally we will not COMPROMISE our goals as a means of financial support or sponsorship. We will not violate our integrity, or our honesty for the sake or receiving money or assistance. We would like our supporters to believe in our goals and ideals. The children, and adults are our most valuable natural resources, and our adults in our community are our teachers. The love, the spirit, the zest for life, respect for others, and quest for knowledge, is our priority. We are dedicated to making our community a much better place through literacy. What our participants learn from us today will govern their tomorrows, and shape the future for generations to come. |
