Black Youth Educational Organization's Mission Statement

The Black Youth Educational Organization provides necessary assistance to the African American Youths and the Youths of African descent in the Caribbean to acquire international scholarships or sponsorships for educational and career focused training opportunities in some African countries. Study programs in Africa will contribute in transforming the lives of many Youths by helping them to discover the riches of their cultural heritages: This will encourage them to develop the spirits of self-esteem, self-worth and human value which are necessary qualities of global citizenship. The Organization acts as an educational information forum for the youths on various educational opportunities at their disposition. The Organization helps the Youths to discover the importance of improving their lives through well planned out academic programs and career focused educational training in the international community.
