YBI Celebrates 5 Years! 🎉
This month marks a major milestone—YBI's 5th anniversary! Five years of growth, creativity, and building a community that continues to inspire us every day. From our humble beginnings to where we stand now—with a brand-new space at 11 Belden Ave—this journey has been nothing short of incredible.
We wouldn’t be here without the dedication of our previous staff, the organizations that have collaborated with us, and the key funders who believed in our vision. Your support has been instrumental in making YBI what it is today, and we’re beyond grateful for every contribution, partnership, and moment that has shaped our path.
Here’s to new opportunities, bigger visions, and the next five years of success! Stay tuned—we're just getting started! 🚀 |
