This week, we celebrate the educators who show up in every space. ✨

Not just in classrooms—
but in communities, programs, and real-world learning environments.

To our trainers, facilitators, and mentors—
thank you for equipping our youth with the skills, confidence, and exposure to move from learning to earning.

You’re not just teaching…
you’re building futures.

💛 Tag a facilitator who made an impact in your life.

The day after our Accelerated Futures Showcase, we showed up at Ballou High School’s Market Day to support.

Several of our participants were also vendors—continuing their entrepreneurial journeys through programs at their school.

We’re proud to see young people taking initiative in multiple spaces.

While this was not a YBFE-led event, we believe in showing up where our youth are.

Unawarded micro-grant funds from our showcase were used to directly support student businesses—putting real dollars behind their efforts.

Because supporting youth entrepreneurship goes beyond our programs.

10 YEARS OF IMPACT 🎉

YBFE’s journey started with one event — the 2016 Women & Youth Empowerment Event.

A space created to promote self-love, self-acceptance, and empowerment for women and youth.

What started as a single event with a vision…
Has grown into a movement.

✨ Youth programs
✨ Entrepreneurship development
✨ Community impact

From that first room of 100+ attendees to the work we’re doing today —
YBFE has always been about creating opportunities, building confidence, and empowering the next generation.

And this is only the beginning.

Thank you to everyone who has supported, participated, and believed in this mission over the years 💛

They don’t teach us how systems work… but they should.

The YBFE Youth Speakers Bureau: Power & Policy Lab is for youth who want to understand:

💡 How decisions are made
💡 Who controls resources
💡 How to create real change

This is more than leadership.
This is learning how to influence the future.
