The Young Benefactors Group (YBG) is a philanthropic organization for service-minded young professionals who are emerging leaders in the public and private section. YBG is dedicated to supporting a great DC-based non-profit called The Institute for Responsible Citizenship (I4RC). Each month the YBG hosts events ranging from private receptions with distinguished leaders to signature soirees.
The Institute for Responsible Citizenship prepares high-achieving African American men for successful careers in business, law, government, public service, education, journalism, the sciences, medicine, ministry, and the arts.
Students are required to complete rigorous academic coursework in Government and Economics, work at high-level internships, and participate in lectures, seminars, and roundtable discussions with some of the nation’s most prominent public and private sector leaders. An integral part of the program includes intensive mentoring by the Institute’s founder, professors, alumni and friends.
The goal of the organization is not only to help talented African American men achieve career success, but it is also to train these young leaders to be men of great character who will make significant contributions to their communities, their country, and the world.
The YBG is hosting a Launch Reception on Wednesday, September 8th at One Lounge (1606 20th Street NW DC) to bring recognition to its organization, mission and the The Institute for Responsible Citizenship. This is not only a great opportunity to attend another happy hour in DC; you’ll also network and meet some amazing young professionals.
PLEASE RSVP to ybg@i4rc.org by September 7th. You already know I’ll be there, so I hope you’ll join me!
