    Donations help us deliver quality educational content to young entrepreneurs. Here’s how your donation directly impacts our programs:

These modules equip youth with the skills they need to turn their business ideas into reality.

Here’s a glimpse into how your support is helping youth achieve their entrepreneurial dreams:

  • Mariam, Abimbola

    At Abimbola, YBIB has played a big part in jump-starting Abimbola’s launch ever since Abimbola participated in their vendor markets since 2023. Though the sales we were able to get it always went back into the business. and really helped. Without YBIB Abimbola wouldn’t be standing where it is today. Participate in their programs, they’re really useful!

  • Dylan, DJ Good Vibes (Youth Dj)

    YBIB is an incredible organization, making a real difference in the lives of youth and the community. As a DJ, I’ve had the honor of sponsoring their events and donating my time to support their mission. Their dedication to empowering youth is truly inspiring. They care deeply about creating positive change.

  • Delisa, Diamond Delisa Bling

    I attended the March 16th, 24 Market as a vendor. I was glad to be a part of the market. YBIB created a community where we were able to share our businesses and brands to the crowd that attended. This also brought buying customers to support our efforts. I would attend another YBIB event and also volunteer in future events

  • Kye, Kye's Jewels

    Out of all the markets I’ve been a vendor at, YBIB does it the best!All staff have been friendly and dedicated to supporting entrepreneurial youth. I am eternally grateful for the friends and mentors I’ve met through YBIB 💗
