Empowered Birmingham Inc is a nonprofit organization that believes in the power of young people to transform their city. We exist to uplift and guide youth by giving them access to education, mentorship, and opportunities that help them grow with confidence and purpose.
We believe that true progress begins with the youth. When they are given the right tools and support, they rise above challenges and become the leaders, innovators, and dreamers our community needs.
Our journey began with a simple vision to build a city where every young person is valued, supported, and given the chance to succeed. Today, that vision lives through the lives we touch, the programs we run, and the hearts that choose to believe in a brighter Birmingham.
At Empowered Birmingham, every program is designed to create real, lasting impact. We do more than talk about change. We make it happen through action, mentorship, and community.
We help young people find their voice and learn to lead with integrity and courage. Through guided mentorship, life skills workshops, and leadership events, we build confidence that lasts a lifetime. Many of our participants go on to mentor others, creating a chain of empowerment across Birmingham.
We believe that knowledge opens doors. Our education and career readiness program connects youth with skill-building sessions, job shadowing, and college preparation. We ensure that every student we support has the tools to move from learning to doing and from dreams to real-world success.
Creativity is power. Through our innovation labs, we help young people develop entrepreneurial thinking and the courage to bring new ideas to life. Participants learn how to design, plan, and launch small projects that make a difference in their own neighborhoods. Each idea we nurture strengthens the spirit of innovation in Birmingham.
We teach youth that true leadership begins with giving back. Through clean-up drives, awareness campaigns, and social outreach, young people learn compassion and the value of service. Our goal is to raise a generation that not only thrives but also uplifts others.
At Empowered Birmingham Inc, change begins with people like you. Every young person we mentor, every idea we nurture, and every community we strengthen starts with someone who chooses to take part. Your time, energy, and generosity can open doors for youth who are ready to rise but need a hand to lift them up.
We believe in shared responsibility because it takes all of us to shape a better Birmingham. Whether you volunteer, donate, or partner with us, you become part of a movement that turns hope into action.
Volunteers are the heart of Empowered Birmingham. When you give your time, you give more than hours because you give inspiration.
You can mentor, help at events, support workshops, or take part in community service drives. Your presence gives young people encouragement and guidance at a time when it matters most.
We welcome individuals, families, faith groups, schools, and corporate teams who want to make a difference. Every volunteer adds value to our mission, and every helping hand builds a stronger community.
Your contribution is more than a donation because it is an investment in the future of Birmingham's youth.
Every gift supports programs that teach, mentor, and empower young people to reach their full potential. With your help, we can expand our reach, strengthen our impact, and continue providing spaces where hope grows and opportunities begin.
No amount is too small to make a difference. Together, we can build a generation that thrives with confidence, compassion, and purpose.
Partnership is how we multiply impact. Empowered Birmingham invites local organizations, schools, and businesses to collaborate with us through sponsorships, shared initiatives, and grant opportunities.
When you partner with us, you invest not only in a program but in the community itself, creating opportunities for young people to grow, learn, and lead.
Our partners help provide resources, host events, and share professional expertise that enrich our programs. Together, we create lasting change and strengthen the foundation for a brighter Birmingham.
Every story shared, every post reposted, and every voice raised spreads hope. You can support our mission by following us, sharing our updates, and inviting others to join. The more people who know about our work, the more lives we can reach.
"Before joining Empowered Birmingham, I felt lost. I wanted to do something meaningful with my life but did not know where to start. The mentorship I received helped me discover my confidence and my purpose. Now I mentor others, and I am studying to become a community leader. Empowered Birmingham showed me that my story matters and that I can be the change my city needs."
Every act of kindness, every gift, and every moment of service fuels the future we are building together. Join us in empowering Birmingham's youth to lead, learn, and lift their communities.
Together, we make Birmingham brighter.
