The National Black TEEN Empowerment Expo (NBTEE) by @uniteedesign: Building a National Youth Movement

“By taking matters into our own hearts and hands, we will build brighter futures for and with our children.”

Community by community, The National Black TEEN Empowerment Expo (NBTEE) is building a national youth movement to collectively discuss, determine and deliver better ways to reach and teach today’s young generation.  We believe strength in numbers will also mean socioeconomic power that can help our children’s needs be a greater fulfilled priority.

Youth Movements are coalitions of concerned citizens and committed groups working together to improve the quality of life and learning for our children, teens and young adults.  By using a combination of live events, media, and web and mobile technologies, we hope to better assess, collect and create youth resources, and better connect these resources to our youth on a more consistent basis.  You can help by emailing information about youth programs, events, activities and resources in your community so we connect more young people to more options and opportunities (info@nbtee.org).

Joining The Better Detroit Youth Movement, new youth movements are now underway in Brooklyn, (NY) and Baltimore.  This year, we will also form youth movements in Atlanta, Texas and California, and other communities.

UniTee Design (www.uniteedesign.com), a Black Youth enrichment enterprise, is proud to be part of INSPIRE ! The Black History & Culture Youth Movement, a newly-formed and growing coalition of Black entrepreneurs with programs, products and resources to inform, educate and uplift today’s young generation. Our mission is to promote and support the success of each coalition partner, and to ensure our children and teens are motivated by a greater understanding of Black history and culture, and the greatness that lives within each of them.
