Youth Business Initiative Newsletter
Learn. Build. Grow
02 Edition 8th February 2021

 


Welcome to the YBI Community!
We are excited to announce upcoming events that will provide opportunities, build community involvement, and provide a space for the youth to cultivate their ideas. YBI is in a complete transition to better assist our students to create a better future for them as well as better our community. Our mission is to provide the fundamental principles of business management to encourage entrepreneurship and career-building.

Youth Town Hall Meeting
On January 13, YBI students had the opportunity to collaborate with other students from Norwalk High School and Brian McMahon where they had the opportunity to discuss the experiences of Black students in the education system.  Thanks to Norwalk Acts and the Center for Youth Leadership, we were able to engage in a much-needed discussion about the disparities that occur at public institutions. It is the beginning of making sure equitable treatment is implemented in public schools throughout the district.

Black Community Leadership
We participated in a
follow-up conversation in response to Black student youth concerns that were presented during the Youth Town Hall meeting. This discussion was hosted by Cornerstone Community Church and Norwalk Board Member Godfrey Azima, and presented by Norwalk Acts. Our Founder Dajuan Wiggins was one of the panelists along with; Jalin T. Sead, Commissioner of the First Taxing District; Lamond Daniels, Chief of Community Services of the City of Norwalk; Rev. Kevin Profit of Kingdom Restoration Ministries.
