In keeping with the Say Yes goal of encouraging responsible citizenship among its students, a significant number of the initial 112 graduates from the Belmont Program of the Philadelphia Chapter are continuing to inspire younger cohorts of Say Yes students with the establishment of The Belmont 112 Alumni Association.
The Belmont 112 Alumni Association serves as a support network for Say Yes students entering post-secondary schools and pursuing higher education in line with the Association's motto, "Rebuilding Communities One Family at a Time." In rebuilding their communities, members of the Association provide families with crucial personal support. The Association's mandate is to utilize alumni experiences to create a model for success in the community. Members engage in a range of activities to implement this goal, including mentoring, providing educational assistance, offering informational and referral assistance, supplying life skills training, and supervising recreational activities. The Association employs an "each one, teach one" approach, whereby each SYTE family that the Belmont 112 comes into contact with is given as much attention and time as is necessary to absorb the life skills that will enable their children to succeed. Board Members of the Belmont 112 Alumni Association include Majovie Bland, Damion Caldwell, Tabitha Casper-Neal, Jahleel Daniels, Jalina Evans, Vedia Fisher, Tolanda Fortune, Micah Holliday, and Carmen James. |
