BOON - Born Out Of Necessity BOON was Born Out Of Necessity - from a persistent question about how Black youth can live abundant lives. A Village for the Village.

We invest in the adults who shape that story through research, practical resources, and stronger relationships. Check out our upcoming events:

June 19 holds deep significance for BOON. Today, as we commemorate Juneteenth, we also celebrate BOON’s third birthday.

Juneteenth reminds us that freedom is not only something to celebrate, but something to steward. Through faith, community, and intentional formation, BOON is working to equip those who disciple Black youth to lead with wisdom, cultural awareness, and spiritual depth, helping to build a future in which Black youth are seen, supported, and empowered to thrive.

To mark this meaningful milestone, we are honored to share a special message from BOON’s Founder, Rev. Candice Wynn.

Thank you for being part of this journey and for helping us build something meaningful over the past three years. We invite you to listen, reflect, and celebrate with us as we honor how far we have come and look ahead to the future of BOON.

“For those of you that think that gospel music has gone too far…”

But what is too far?

From Kirk Franklin to GloRilla… from choir stands to Trap Gospel…
this generation is redefining what faith sounds like.

Is it crossing a line or expanding the language of the sacred?

You can ask “why?,” but your feet need to be saying, “ok.” 🤣🤣

AI is a tool, but your village is a superpower.
52% of teenagers regularly use AI companions. It’s clear they are looking for a "safe" place to talk.
But if we want teenagers to seek more wisdom from people, we have to build environments where they have permission to grow.
At BOON, we’re researching exactly how to do that, and we need the experts to help us.
Know a Black teenager (ages 13–19) with an opinion on life? We want them on our Teen Research Team.
