What People Are Saying About YBA
”
I want to thank you so much for giving Jenifer the change to follow her dreams and work hard in focusing on her career. I never imagined she could have been selected for the scholarship. I always worry how I can afford to pay for her education but thanks to you, she has the skills and knowledge to help her save for the future!

My favorite topic was budgeting. It really made an impact to me when I think about my future and how to save money. The most challenging topic was networking because I am very shy but I am also very thankful for YBA because it has helped me get out of my shell

What I taught my students in YBA is what I wish I was taught when I was in high school. Because of YBA, I had been able to expose my students to important information regarding college and career readiness, financial literacy, and business early on to better prepare them for a successful future.
