Mission Statement

B.Y.E.'s mission is unequivocal: to arm Black youth with a comprehensive suite of personal, professional, and social-emotional development skills. We're dedicated to paving a way for them to not only navigate but conquer the complexities of their lives. Our goal isn't just to support them but to usher them towards realizing and fulfilling their life's purpose, ensuring that each one knows their inherent worth and boundless potential.

About This Cause

Black, Young and Empowered (B.Y.E.) purpose is to become the catalyst for the empowerment of Black youth, challenging and ultimately reshaping the historical narrative that has limited them. In a world where circumstances and systemic obstacles have often dictated their paths, we're unwavering in our commitment. Through equipping these young individuals with an all-encompassing set of tools – from personal growth to professional acumen – we're not just leveling the playing field; we're setting them up to lead the game. B.Y.E.'s innovative programs are designed to create a profound impact across various facets of our youths' lives. Our Reading Literacy Enhancement Program is dedicated to addressing the alarming statistics of reading deficiencies among Black youth. Through targeted tutoring, tailored curriculum, and mentorship, we are closing the literacy gap and kindling a love for learning that transcends generations. Our Holistic Wellness Program goes beyond physical health, recognizing the importance of mental and emotional well-being. By offering a safe space for dialogue, counseling, and personalized wellness plans, we're nurturing resilience and providing tools for coping with life's challenges. With our Performing Arts Empowerment Program, we are providing a platform for Black youth to share their stories, talents, and perspectives through theater and film-making. This not only cultivates creativity but also amplifies their voices on a broader stage, fostering confidence and a sense of agency. The Financial Empowerment Hub equips our youth with vital financial literacy skills, teaching them to navigate economic challenges and opportunities. Through workshops, mentorship, and exposure to entrepreneurship, we are dismantling financial barriers and empowering our youth to secure their financial futures. Our Community Engagement and Global Citizenship Program fosters a sense of belonging and civic responsibility. By connecting youth with local projects and global outreach initiatives, we're shaping leaders who actively contribute to their communities and the world. Through these transformative programs, we're not just aiming for incremental change. We're creating a paradigm shift that dismantles limitations, empowers Black youth to shatter ceilings, and positions them as architects of their destinies. At B.Y.E., we're not merely advocating for progress; we're architecting a future where Black youth don't just survive – they thrive and lead.
