“I met with 6 of our students today and was impressed with their Sharp Tank Competition Presentation that Youth Business University taught them to design! One of the students won $500 and then went to the Hope Operation Global Forum Pitch Competition and won $1,000."

"Youth Business University served Towers High School's Business Classes, Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA), Chick-fil-A Leader Academy, and Rachel’s Challenge involving several youths, programs, and workshops (i.e., entrepreneurship, career development, and life skills) since 2013. also played a key role in Towers’ FBLA, receiving a $6,500 grant from Chick-fil-A Leader Academy in 2015.  YBU is an organization that is equipping, challenging, and positively impacting the mindset of the next generation.  It is truly preparing today’s youth to be strategic, relevant, and business-minded as they plan to become corporate citizens and global leaders.”

Youth Business University's Next Generation Wealth Builders Seminar was well suited to my Economics students' needs and was highly effective and motivational. Because of the Economics "high-stakes end of course test," I was somewhat apprehensive about pulling my students for a class period. However, I was relieved and enthusiastic when I discovered three things about the YBU seminar. One, the introductory materials on Insurance and Investment, Earnings and Education levels were closely linked to our state standards and EOCT content vocabulary and concepts. Secondly, the material was appropriately delivered with good audio-visual support. Third, my students learned the needed material and internalized the compelling and morale-building message.

"Thanks for inviting me to the event on Saturday. Your presentation was very good.  The kids seemed interested and it was nice how you incorporated them into the presentation.  For the past couple of years, Eastside has joined together with the Northeast Independent Preparatory Academy (NIPA) as far as sharing their events.  Each year, NIPA has a representative from GSFC come out and speak about Financial Aid, HOPE, Scholarships and the GAfutures website.  I found that your presentation was very similar to theirs." (March 11, 2019)

Words do not express how grateful all of us are for what you have done for our son Joseph.  You poured your life into him  Please know whatever marks he makes in this world, you are a MAJOR cause of it.  You have made him a great man.

I would like to thank Youth Branding University and Mr. Jeffery for all the hard work that you have done in mentoring my son. When I first met Mr. Jeffery in October 2016, I told him that I thought the mentorship program was not going to work but we would give it a try. Over the weeks and months, I have seen much improvement in my son's attitude and grades (from straight F's to C's and B's). Youth Branding University and Mr. Jeffery have been a big help to my son, my family, and me.

Coach Jeffery.

A "Thank You Letter" would not even come close to how much you have impacted me.  I still remember when you drove all the way to my house to convince me that I needed to stay in homeschool and that the YBU business class was for me.  To this day, I can truly say that the event was a life-changing moment for me. I pray to God that our relationship just increases every time we talk.  From a financial point of view, this class has opened my eyes tremendously.  I am extremely more knowledgeable about finances and personal wealth and 94% of that is because of you.  Thank You!
