About Us
Founded in January 2021, Young Black and Brilliant (YB&B) is a community-based program created to uplift, educate, and empower youth. We offer one comprehensive youth development program that combines a book club, life skills workshops, community outreach, and social events—all designed to help youth thrive.

Our program follows a cohort model, meaning participants grow and learn together over the course of the year. This group-based approach builds strong peer connections, encourages collaboration, and creates a safe, supportive environment where every young person feels seen, valued, and inspired.

At YB&B, we believe every young person has brilliance within them, and we’re here to help it shine—one story, one step at a time.
