The International Black Summit Network

Calling All Youth & The Purpose-Driven Too!
Generation BEFY Network is a youth/community empowerment movement designed to act as a counter and deterrent to destructive lifestyle choices such as drugs, gangs, and violence. Generation BEFY encourages and assists those who desire to pursue higher education and/or personal self-development. GBN was introduced to the general public in April, 2010. Awards were developed and distributed in honor of the first speakers and contributors to the first conference/symposium. We are now issuing calls for submission of nominees for the 2011 awards which are as follows:

B.E.F.Y Empowerment will annually recognize and award 12 deserving individuals who have answered the call for positive change through educational excellence and pursuits, positive attitude, community activism, or personal self development. These awards are given in honor of founding contributors to the first annual BEFY Education & Networking Symposium held April 22-24, 2010 in Wilson, NC.
