I love ybi because it gives me the opportunity to make connections with people that strive for success and motivates me to try my best to be successful. I also love that I get the chance to learn how to navigate in the real world because school doesn’t really teach me much about the real world.

Entrepreneurship 101 StudentAt first I thought I wouldn’t fit in with anyone in the program except the people I knew, but it took some people to talk to me and relate with me to feel like I fit in. Ybi made me feel like I was a part of them for a long time and I’m glad to say I’m a member.
