Y2 LEGACY – A Black-Centred Approach to Leadership, Innovation, and Excellence


Y2 LEGACY is a transformative summer learning program that empowers students through a Black-centred lens celebrating leadership, innovation, and academic excellence. By building foundational knowledge and identity-affirming skills, students emerge with the confidence and capabilities to lead in their schools and communities. The foundational skills students gain in the summer will support them in navigating the school year with confidence and leadership.

 

Through credit-bearing courses grounded in technology, literature, business leadership, and community engagement, Y2 LEGACY provides a dynamic and culturally responsive learning experience. Students engage in experiential learning, build essential academic and life skills, and receive mentorship that supports long-term success.
