About Young Black and Great

The Blueprint for a New Economy

This is not your average mentorship initiative; this is a radical job program. We match brilliant teenagers—many of whom are already college graduates—with elite Subject Matter Experts. The youth provide the raw intellect and innovation; the experts provide the industry experience and strategic guidance.

The YGB Promise

  • Six-Figure Careers: Participants are paid six figures to run high-revenue businesses in tech, communication, and entertainment.
  • Real-World Impact: Building businesses that solve societal affordability issues, like saving Black farmers.
  • Wealth Creation: A structured path to buying their first home by the age of 25.

This is Where You STep Up

A New Economic Agenda

At Young Greatness and Black (YGB), we are done waiting. We are a revolutionary job program and economic accelerator, committed to creating a new economic agenda for the Black community.

Pair Raw Intellect and Innovation

Our radical premise is to bypass the corporate ladder: We pair the raw intellect and innovation of the nation’s brightest Black youth with the seasoned experience of elite Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), and hand them the reins to high-revenue businesses. We don't just prepare youth for the future; we fund them to build it today.

A Structured Path to Wealth

This is real work that yields real wealth. Program participants are paid six-figure salaries to run businesses in vital sectors like Technology, Communications, Entertainment, and Agriculture, tackling issues like saving Black farmers. Our core promise is a structured path to wealth creation, guaranteeing participants can purchase their first home by the age of 25. We are expanding Black ownership in the U.S., starting with our unprecedented challenge to launch 100 successful businesses in a single year.
