BALi’s mission is to inspire youth, including youth from underrepresented groups, such as female-identifying, LGBTQI and gender-expansive individuals, to become effective, dynamic and visionary 21st century leaders as well as active and creative participants in civic, political, corporate and community life. This program provides the skills set and the social-emotional learning needed by the current generation of young women, men and gender-expansive youth, to gain the knowledge and the confidence needed to become leaders in all circles of life.

*Our summer program is open to all youth, ages 13-21 years old, residing in or from NYC metropolitan area. There are no academic or skills criteria, however there is an application and a short interview that follows as part of the selecting process. Priority is given to youth coming from underserved neighborhoods and or schools.
