For nearly a decade, Youth V.IB.E. provided high school students with free skills training and the life-long tools needed to be successful as business leaders. In 2006, Youth V.I.B.E. was awarded a 21st Century Community Learning Center grant, allowing the organization to expand its operations and curriculum.

As an After-school program operating out of selected schools in DeKalb County and Fulton County, Youth V.I.B.E. Offers academic enrichment in math, science and reading. For the entire school year, free from 3:30- 6:30 pm Mondays through Thursdays (and some Saturdays), Youth V.I.B.E. offers a rewarding environment where students can prepare for their futures by increasing test scores, engaging in thought-provoking dialogue with guest speakers, polishing their writing, public speaking, strategic planning and conflict resolution skills; and taking tours of area businesses.
