Because I am, I shall.

Because I am, I shall. Cultivating future generations through holistic and meaningful mentorship. The B.I.A.S.

Too often, young people develop their identity based on preconceived notions that have subjectified their culture, gender, sexuality or even their likes and dislikes. Consequently, this has influenced how they see themselves, mainly in a negative manner and therefore limiting the ability for them to recognize how great and unique they are as individuals. Not only has this restricted their personal

growth, but also the notion that they are not able to accomplish certain goals, especially those in relation to education. organization offers a wide range of programs to high school students in the greater Atlanta area throughout the school year. In hopes to create an organization that focuses on responsibility, B.I.A.S. is also an organization that seeks to create a personal connection between the Peer Leaders and Young Adults involved. The relationship between the two will be built off of learning, listening and engaging activities that show ways to positively give back to the community.

Lift As We Climb http://wp.me/p49jMF-4W

The B.I.A.S. Team partnered with The Talented Tenth Mentoring program to host a discussion on the importance of the role of mentoring in impacting our youth and strengthening our communities. Students from Morehouse College, Spelman College, and Clark Atlanta University were able to hear the unique approaches of several Atlanta University Center (AUC) mentoring programs and join the charge to "Lift As We Climb" by committing to serving the community under one of the organizations.

We ended the 2013-2014 school year with a bang!

Celebrating the amazing work of all the 13 organizations that applied to the Personal Passions scholarship fund, we decided it would be fitting to have AUC students showcase their personal passions! We had a live band, singing groups, dancers and dance groups and, spoken word artists! Each of which put their own creative spin in their performances.

The 2014 B.I.A.S. Scholarship was awarded during the ‘Let Your Light Shine’ Concert, which showcased student performers, that was open to the Atlanta University Center student base.

Understanding that the most meaningful work is done by dedicated and driven individuals, the B.I.A.S. Team hopes to instill the notion that everyone is able to implement social change by utilizing their Personal Passions. Through this methodology, we were able to award three student organizations scholarships in the amounts of $100, $150 and $200!
