NAAAP-BBBS Prodigy Program
In May of 2010, NAAAP Philadelphia and Big Brothers Big Sisters Southeastern PA (BBBS SEPA) launched the NAAAP-BBBS Prodigy Program in partnership with the John H. Taggart School (Taggart School) of South Philadelphia. The Prodigy Program was created in response to racially-motivated school violence that has been prevalent throughout South Philadelphia in recent years. The mission of the Prodigy Program is to foster a new generation of Asian American leaders via a mentoring program.
