Creating Opportunities for Success
The young people BITS serves come from diverse backgrounds, all with different stories and experiences. At BITS, our goal is to introduce concept that that failure is not an end point, but a chance to learn, explore, and discover new opportunities on the journey to success. We enable this further through funding opportunities, mentorship and a community that supports them.
Education That Stands the Test of Time
We believe Entrepreneurship is the best way for young people to learn resilience in an ever-changing world, when young people are exposed to action-orientated business training, it give them the tools and skills such as resilience, to go out there and make something happen despite the circumstance.
Because Young People Matter
Young people matter to us, and they should matter to you, they should matter to everyone, they are our future. We at BITS have a heart to see the people we serve find a place where they belong, through a community that cares, develop the belief that they can succeed despite their circumstances.
