Who We Are

YBFE is a leading DC youth nonprofit that empowers young individuals through youth development programs focused on building confidence, identity, financial stability, and leadership skills. Our college and career readiness programs, along with mentorship and youth entrepreneurship programs, help young people discover who they are, what they can become, and how to achieve financial literacy for youth, ultimately paving the way for a strong future.

✨ Personal Development

We help youth strengthen their confidence, identity, self-awareness, and emotional intelligence through workshops that promote resilience, goal-setting, self-discipline, and leadership.

💰 Financial Literacy

Participants learn how money works — budgeting, saving, credit, banking, and investing — so they can build generational wealth and make informed financial decisions.
