Mercer County Youth Program Fall 2025 Graduation
A special milestone is just around the corner for the young people participating in the AJC Mercer County Youth Program. On December 17, 2025, families, mentors, and community partners will gather at the Mercer County Family YMCA to recognize the dedication, growth, and drive shown by this year’s students during their fall session.
The ceremony will honor the determination these youth have shown as they work toward their goals, whether they’re pursuing academic success, building job skills, or taking steps toward long-term career paths. Each student will soon walk across the stage not simply to receive recognition, but to mark the moment their hard work transforms into new opportunities.
What lies ahead for them is wide open. Some will soon step into new jobs, others will continue their education, and many will discover new directions they haven’t imagined yet. The challenges they’ve faced while in the program—and the persistence they’ve shown—will serve as the foundation for everything they build from here.
The ceremony will be a celebration, but it will also be a reminder: the future belongs to those willing to put in the effort, stay curious, and keep moving even when the path isn’t perfectly clear. These students are already proving they can do that.
To our soon-to-be graduates: your moment is coming, and you’ve earned it. The next chapter hasn’t been written yet, but you’re stepping into it with momentum, resilience, and every reason to be proud. The journey ahead will reveal strengths you haven’t discovered yet, and possibilities that will grow as you do.
A new beginning awaits, and we can’t wait to see where you take it.
CONGRATULATIONS!
