Still reflecting on an incredible experience in Chicago!

Our YBLA YoPros spent the 2026 Global Leadership Forum learning, connecting, serving, and experiencing new spaces together. It was a weekend filled with meaningful conversations, memorable moments, and opportunities to grow both personally and professionally.

We’re grateful to everyone who played a part in making this experience possible and welcomed our YoPros with opportunities to learn, connect, and grow.

What do you carry forward after an experience like this?

During the Global Leadership Forum in Chicago, YBLA YoPros visited the Obama Presidential Center and walked away with reflections on purpose, progress, possibility, and the power of where you begin.

From seeing what’s possible when you believe in your vision to recognizing that where you start doesn’t determine where you’ll go, the experience challenged each of them to think about the impact they’re building next.

The transition from college to career takes more than a degree.

Through YBLA’s Collegiate Emerging Professionals Program, students gain hands-on leadership development, career preparation, access to professionals and mentors, and opportunities to put their leadership into action.

If you know a college student in the greater Charlotte area who is ready to invest in their future, share this opportunity with them.

One conversation in Belize changed YBLA Ambassador Lily Balogun's perspective on leadership.

After meeting a young entrepreneur with talent but not the resources to grow her business, Lily came home inspired to create FoundHer Belize, an organization investing in young women entrepreneurs through mentorship, education, and business resources.

This is what happens when service becomes action.
