Black Leaders of Tomorrow (BLT)

The Black Leaders of Tomorrow (BLT) program is a business mentoring program for Black youth who wish to embark on the journey of becoming business professionals. It also caters to Black youth who have already begun their journey to entrepreneurship and wish to reap the benefits of having a mentor. This engaging initiative offers the opportunity for Black youth (mentees) to be mentored by a seasoned professional who supports them in developing business and professional skills. Mentees develop the skills that they need to succeed as professionals, learning how to attract investors and gain access to capital Mentees attend innovative workshops and group meetups and hone their business and personal skills while having access to a supportive network. Embedded within the BLT program is an understanding of Black cultural identity and what it means to navigate the business world as an individual who identifies as Black. At the heart of our programs is the desire to reduce poverty and help individuals and families lead healthy and productive lives. Activities, developed from a culturally-sensitive perspective, are geared toward empowering our clients and helping them find their inner strength and abilities to create solutions to the challenges they face.
