Youth Motivation Task Force
For more than 50 years, the Youth Motivation Task Force (YMTF) Outreach Program at AAMU has provided professionals from various backgrounds – many of whom are AAMU alumni – an opportunity to interact with students within the classroom and to introduce them to careers within the private and public sectors. Teams of two to four professionals visit classrooms across campus, where they share career advice, trials, words of wisdom and encouragement. Through their personal accomplishments, YMTF consultants show, first-hand, the personal and professional rewards that can be reaped from earning a college degree.
