Youth Business University (YBU) is a 501 (c) 3 Non-Profit Organization. In 2014 YBU received Consent for Name
Reservation from the Post-secondary Education Commission of Georgia, which allows YBU to officially simulate a “University” and use “University” as part
of our organization’s name.
We are a relevant comprehensive youth organization simulating a "University" designed to educate, elevate, empower, encourage, energize, engage, enrich, equip,
and expand today's global youth.
Our motto is “to train and develop future CEO’s, executives, professionals, entrepreneurs, motivational
speakers, spiritual leaders, community activists, financial advisers, doctors, scientists,
engineers, technologists, artists, mathematicians, politicians, college and professional athletes, and
leaders with a global mindset”
"A Time To Value, Serve, Save, Brand, Market, and Promote Our Youth!!! If Not Now, Then When?"
Our "Main Focus" includes concentrating on serving the needs of "ALL YOUTH" including youth from low to
high income families seeking life opportunities, traditionally underrepresented and underserved
youth, youth with a high risk for academic failure, youth who are in foster care or who are aging out of the foster care system, disconnected youth, youth
from families in which neither parent holds a bachelor's degree, homeless youth, youth at-risk,
youth living in single parent homes, youth growing up in poverty, youth coping with parental
incarceration, disabled youth, youth in a gang, and special needs youth.

Our "Main Initiative” for 2015 includes the following:
YBU’S Board of Directors, Executive Management Team and Collaborative Alliance Partners will incorporate a “Diversity Board” so that Youth Business University can strategically and deliberately reach out to and serve a more multi-ethnicity youth and adult population; especially the Asian, Caucasian, and Latino population.
The following individuals and partners are coming together to put this initiative in motion:
