YABT is an organization of young people for young people.

YABT advances the goals of the OAS and the Summits of the Americas by promoting and implementing programs for entrepreneurship in the Americas and elsewhere as a mean to fight poverty and create job opportunities for young people, both in-schools and universities, as well as looking for work..

The vision of YABT is that the talent of young entrepreneurs in the Ameri-cas will determine the Hemisphere’s potential for future economic growth and democratic stability. YABT believes that the region’s young creative people offer the best prospect for building the Americas of all our dreams. Reality reminds us that only training and investment in young people today will build this tomorrow.
