We Build Leaders!

At YBLA, we develop young Black men and women into leaders who will positively impact their peers, families, communities, and beyond.

 

We focus on helping our young people become leaders who are college and career-ready. In 2020, 100% of our students went on to attend a four-year college. They earned more than $7.6M in college scholarships including the Gates Millennial, Oprah Winfrey, and Cheatham-White scholarships.
