BYB is a local non-profit started by Katie Tingle and Julie Kras.

Connecting individuals with disabilities to meaningful job opportunities, while also providing personalized coaching and skills training to ensure their long-term success in the workplace. We are supporting young adults with intellectual disabilities in developing independence and purpose through connections to meaningful employment. With individualized coaching and structured workplace preparation, we ensure long-term success for both employees and partnering businesses. We encourage local businesses to embrace inclusive hiring to strengthen their teams and enrich the entire community.

PARTNER SPOTLIGHT! When we met with Melissa Mastros, the force behind Melissa Gaynor Mastros, she instantly became our first partner and biggest supporter. Between giving us the freedom to start our concession internship program, hiring our participants, and walking us through starting a non-profit, she and her husband Rob have been an integral part of BYB’s success. We are forever grateful for their friendship, mentorship, and support 💚
