We Help Our Youth Discover "A Love" For Reading
Welcome to the YB&B Readers Club! We empower Black and Brown youth to discover amazing books, dive into meaningful stories, and build a strong, supportive community.
YB&B members meet every Thursday at 5:45 PM for in-person sessions.
At YB&B, we inspire young readers aged 11-16 by introducing them to culturally rich and engaging literature that sparks curiosity and imagination. Our sessions are thoughtfully designed to build confidence, enhance literacy and social skills, and encourage meaningful conversations. Through fun literacy games, interactive activities, and positive peer connections, our members thrive in a supportive and empowering environment where learning and growth go hand in hand.
