will be our featured Guest Speaker this

Thursday, September 24th

at the 12 noon Zoom Meeting.

Please tune in!

Winchester ABC is a chapter of A Better Chance, Inc., a national nonprofit organization founded in 1963 to provide academically talented male and female scholars of color with expanded educational and career opportunities. Today, more than 1,000 African-American, Hispanic, Asian, and Native American scholars participate in A Better Chance programs in private and public college-preparatory schools throughout the country. In 1971, Winchester ABC welcomed its first male scholars. Since then, close to 100 scholars have graduated from Winchester High School and gone on to college and a variety of professional pursuits. The Winchester ABC House is on Dix Street across from The First Congregational Church and currently houses six students and three staff members. http://winchesterabc.org/
