Double Good Popcorn Fundraiser 

When:
Where: Virtual online

We're currently running a Four Day Double Good popcorn fundraiser. If you believe in giving back and supporting our youth while fostering a passion for reading, please consider helping us reach our goal.

This fundraiser is crucial for covering expenses such as our upcoming banquet on June 29th, field trips, weekly meals for the kids, life skills workshops, and purchasing books.

 If you're not a fan of popcorn, you can still show your support by donating on our donation page.

Thank you for being a part of our community and supporting our cause! Your contribution will make a meaningful difference in the lives of these young individuals.

Our Mission

Our mission is to foster personal growth and positive social interactions amongst youth through literature, discussions, and social events.

Young Black and Brilliant is a 501c3 nonprofit organization focused on community building and promoting a love for reading. We strive to provide a safe and inclusive space where young individuals can develop essential life skills, feel empowered, and receive unwavering support, fostering their brilliance and potential.
Book clubs and structured literacy programs are proven strategies that drive youth confidence and  remove barriers to learning. Research supports the fact that students’ reading skills improve when they work with peers in structured reading activities.

Join us on a journey celebrating the profound influence and transformative power of books.
