Inspirational & Transformative

Youth Experience Assembly for those

Who Desire To

Become The Better "YOU"

BTBY is dedicated to helping others become the best version of themselves. We host virtual and in person conferences all over the country helping others to see the greatness they have within them. What better way to expand the BTBY mission than to offer a Youth Experience?
BTBY has designed a youth program for schools that touches the hearts and minds of students to make them think about where they are in life. We give guidance and motivation to do and be better. We bring in speakers who have been where they are or work in the field of their challenges through assemblies, workshops, or from classroom-to classroom sessions in middle schools and high schools.

We have speakers who currently work with youth of all ages as their full-time jobs in the area of racial justice with the YMCA, Suicide prevention specialists with the armed forces and other critical school programs. Our passion is working within schools helping at-risk kids and kids of all situations. Our speakers have a passion for reaching the youth. For showing them a better way.

What if we can make a difference in just one students life? One person can be a game changer!
