Founder's Message

It has long been my mission to create quality opportunities for young people to succeed in our communities throughout the world.

"YBDP" is a program I started four years ago, and today we have active members in four continents. As we can continue to grow, and the program begins to adapt more relevant means of reaching out to young people, we will remain consistent to our themes of empowerment, diversity, and character-driven success.

As you probably know, I have been active in business and various projects for the past 13 years. Throughout my life, I have had a specific focus on empowering youth - whether it be producing magazines, or creating media products that continue to push the creative expressions of the 21st century generation - and because of my commitment to that end, our young people in YBDP have greater opportunities at realizing their potential.

Best Wishes,
Hezekiah Griggs III
Founder of YBDP
