Our Programs
At YBMKQ, we believe in creating transformative spaces where young people can thrive, heal, and grow into the leaders they are meant to be. Our programs are designed to provide a holistic approach to youth development—fostering academic excellence, mental wellness, career readiness, artistic expression, and physical well-being.
​
YBMKQ University (Out-of-School Time Programming)
Our signature program, YBMKQ University, offers both after-school and summer camp experiences that equip youth with the skills, knowledge, and support they need to succeed. With a strong emphasis on academic enrichment, mental health support, mentorship, recreation, and arts & culture, we create a safe and nurturing environment where students can explore their interests, build confidence, and embrace their full potential.
Signature Events
Beyond our daily programming, we host impactful events that celebrate and uplift our youth. Our Anniversary Weekend includes the Youth Healing Event, the Gospel Explosion Concert, and the Anniversary Gala, featuring the prestigious 25 Under 25 Awards. Each event fosters joy, connection, and empowerment, ensuring our young people feel seen, valued, and inspired.
De’Avry Thomas Community Center
Our community center serves as a hub for support and growth, offering a library, daycare services, and mental health resources. We also provide event rental spaces and operate a Food Pantry, ensuring consistent access to essential resources for families in need.
