What We Are
IBIA, Inc. is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) program created to impact youth during their senior high school and college freshman years. Our Mission is to "Equip youth with SELF-LOVE, UNITY, RECOVERY, and FINANCIAL literacy, to develop confident leaders, empowered to build strong communities and create a positive global impact." Our listen-first life skill coaching style helps program participants achieve their goals and become positive role models for younger generations.
Who We Serve
IBIA, Inc. is a resource for families, communities, and youth from underserved demographics. We work with various sponsors and partners who are aligned with our mission, to build resource awareness and support for those we serve.
How We Serve
We serve through in-person and virtual education resources, community service, coaching, and scholarship initiatives. Our "SURF" Curriculum comprises four foundational pillars; Self-Love, Unity, Recovery, and Financial Freedom, which introduces youth to life-building skills aligned with their passions and future goals. We also offer our program participants career development, budget basics, interview preparation, and resume-building workshops.
