About
Be-Youth
Our Story
Be Youth’s is deeply rooted in the community, specifically those of the underrepresented. Our founder Niquan Lee was raised in this environment. He’s witnessed the potential youth in these areas possess, but unfortunately due to a lack of support, guidance and resources they don’t get the same opportunities as others. Instead, he’s watched friends go down a different path due to drugs, poverty and other circumstances. However, Niquan was fortunate. He had an uncle who took him in as a youth and raised him, along with a village of coaches and friends, that provided support and guidance, showing him the impact a change in exposure and environment can have.
This is the driving force behind BE-Youth. We strongly believe that with the right tools and support, those in underserved communities can propel into a pathway of endless possibilities.
Mission
Our Mission is to help bridge educational gaps specifically for youth in low income areas who don’t have access to financial, business, and wellness tools.
Our Vision
Is to create a future where all youth know that they can succeed regardless of their background. We want them to know they are just as good as everybody else and that they are enough. They will have the confidence, skills and knowledge to go out and “get it”. We will help bridge the gap between financially secure and low income school curriculum by enhancing financial and emotional growth.
