The Black Youth Guidance Forum (BYGF) proudly marks its 10th anniversary with a transformative celebration rooted in the timeless principles of Maat—truth, balance, harmony, and reciprocity. This milestone event highlights the critical role of belonging, connectivity, and well-being in empowering Black youth and their communities to thrive academically, personally, and professionally.

This year’s forum explores how a strong sense of belonging fuels academic success, mental health, and leadership development, equipping students to navigate a rapidly evolving world shaped by artificial intelligence, technological innovation, and global networking. Participants will engage in educationally purposeful activities, including:

• Inspiring keynote speakers
• Four tailored instructional tracks for PreK-5th graders, 6-12th graders, Parent Advocacy, and Leadership

ancestral wisdom and forward-focused leadership, this event serves as a space for reflection, learning, and action. Join us as we honor the past, illuminate the present, and inspire a future where every student is valued, connected, and prepared to build meaningful relationships. Together, we uplift, educate, and empower the next generation of change makers!
