Elyria Teens Achieve Success (ETAS)

Empowering Elyria's future Leaders! At ETAS, we believe in the power of teens to inspire and uplift one another. Our program cultivates leadership by providing a platform for students to encourage their peers to excel academically and in all aspects of life.

A Powerful Partnership for Elyria Teens: Elyria Teens Achieve Success (ETAS) is a collaborative mentoring initiative brought to you by Save Our Children, Nordson Corporation, Elyria City Schools, Effective Leadership Academy, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Boys & Girls Club, and the YWCA. Thanks to a vital Community Connectors grant from the Ohio Department of Education, we're proud to offer this essential after-school program for 9th-12th grade students. Our mission is to support their transition into high school and equip them with the skills needed for success in 21st-century careers.

Impacting Lives in Elyria: We celebrate the achievements of our inaugural ETAS class, who are now confidently stepping into their futures through college, military service, and skilled trades careers.
