Youthbiz, Inc. Charity Profile
YouthBiz's mission is to advance the social and economic empowerment of youth through a focus on business, academics, and leadership.
Vision: Our long-term vision is that all youth will have the character and skills needed to become productive, responsible, and fulfilled community members.
YouthBiz was founded in Denver’s Five-Points neighborhood by a local activist and eight inner-city teens in 1992. In fifteen years the organization has served over 2,500 youth through after-school programs that leave a lasting impact not just for these individuals, but their families and the larger community. With the goal transforming disenfranchised neighborhoods one youth at a time, YouthBiz is preparing a new generation of scholars, business men and women, entrepreneurs, community leaders, and other professionals.

Question: How does such a small staff manage to serve over 350 youth per year and run one of Denver’s premier youth development organizations?
Answer: YouthBiz does it with the help of dedicated volunteers involved in a variety of programs and events year-round.
An enriching, rewarding, and fun way to participate and to contribute to YouthBiz is to volunteer. Volunteers fuel YouthBiz’s work and the experiences of our youth through various activities. Some come with specific knowledge, such as business leaders, entrepreneurs, teachers, parents, and activists. Others come with patience, time, and the willingness to provide whatever support is necessary to benefit our overall operations. Our youth gain an incredible amount of knowledge and inspiration from our volunteers.
