BYC is a weekly drop-in program where Black youth in London can become part of a community of peers and mentors with shared experiences. The program was started and is being led by Black youth who saw the need for a space where Black youth ages 14-19 can connect with supportive individuals. Black Youth gain access to a network of organizations and leaders dedicated to youth development. They also engage in solution-focused discussions about community building while celebrating their diversity.
