Our Story

Building a World Where Everyone Can Thrive.

In today's world, young people are missing the essence of culture and unity, which makes it more important than ever to teach them about inclusivity. This is why we founded YBS Kids.

 

At YBS Kids, we help children from all socio-economic backgrounds understand and take pride in their rich history. By fostering this knowledge, we encourage stronger social connections, a key aspect of a child's development.

Our Mission

YBS Kids is dedicated to teaching young people
cultural history, life skills, and community involvement in ways that empower them for a better future.

Our Vision

Our vision is to inspire children to become who they want
to be but, more importantly, influence self-confidence and
pride. By empowering our young children and youth this
way, we empower our communities.

Our Focus Areas

Opening Doors to Possibilities

We are opening doors and providing access to opportunities that shape young minds, especially those often overlooked. Through our three core pillars—Education and Life Skills Training, Community Involvement, and Cultural Enrichment—we teach young people to recognize and seize these opportunities. These pillars empower them to unlock their potential, equipping them with the tools, skills, and resources they need to thrive and build brighter futures.
