Our mission.
We're a new nonprofit tackling an emerging global challenge.
We are the YouthBank team, an all-volunteer group of students, professionals, and community leaders working on four continents to realize one revolutionary vision:
That street youth in the world's biggest cities and most formidable slums can become socially responsible business owners and pull their communities out of poverty.
We created YouthBank to respond to the challenge of poverty, underemployment, and crime in hyper-urban environments, which are emerging rapidly across the developing world.
