The YBA, which stands for Young Brothers Association. is entering its sixth year of operation and is focus
ing in on a new direction for its members.
The club, founded by Devaldean Penn, is a mentoring group for young male students.
The focus this year, according to Penn, is "Learning to Help Somebody Else< It's Not Just Me".
Penn says helping others is an excellent way of getting young people to volunteer their time to helping oth
ers and making their step in the right direction.
"These efforts can come in the form of helping each other, going to work in their own communities, and*
also helping around the ho'se," Penn says. "Learning what and how it feels to volunteer, without being paid
money.
"We work on a project in our school, by collecting pennies td help with the "Kids Cafe", a project that is
going on at the Goler Memorial A.M.E. Zion Church on Patterson Ave., where Rev. Seth O. Lartely is the pas
tor " .
wan a generous coniriouiion irom ine Aipna rm Aipna fraternity, umicron uamma Lamda, Inc.,
Keraersville Chapter, the group was able to give a little more than $200.00 to that worthwhile project.
The group made the contribution on Sunday. Dec. 21, 1997 at the 8:30 a.m. Morning Worship Service.
"Rev. Lartey was very appreciative of the contribution and the fine efforts of the YBA members and the
Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity," Penn said. "The Alpha s Men also serve as mentors, as well as Rev. Lartey on dif
ferent occasions.
. "We plan mor activities for the members to participate in during 1998. We plan to have some Saturday
Morning sessions to help our members in other areas of growing up, such as Self-Esteem, Academic
> Achievement. Positive Behavior, Classroom Motivation, Peer Pressure, Drugs, Man Talk Issues and many
more. We also plan to work a couple of evenings at the Kids Cafe at Goler Memorial Church."
The Saturday morning sessions would be open to any young men, who would be interested in being a part
of the group. Anyone with questions can contact Penn at (910) 760-3534.
