Deeper commitment to equity In 2017, PYB dedicated a full year toward the goal of educating our staff and board on issues regarding diversity and inclusion. Learning about the issues is just the beginning; PYB is now focusing much of its energy to eliminating the existing achievement gaps within our racially diverse student body.

Planning for renovations Since purchasing our current building in 2001 we have significantly expanded our services for youth in the community, which has strained the physical capacity of our building. In 2017, PYB took the first steps towards launching a capital campaign to renovate our building in order to create more usable PYB PROGRAMS space and improve functionality. Once complete, our renovated school will better serve existing Academics students and increase the number of students that Equity PYB can serve in the future.
