About BDI, Inc.

Mission

Our mission is to provide the tools, resources, and support our youth need to ensure a successful transition from adolescence to adulthood and help them become an active community member and business leader. Our goal is to create multiple pathways to success by providing academic and business opportunities for young people that support classroom learning. We aim to prepare our youths for success after high school, and create access and exposure to events outside of their normal life experiences.

Vision

Our Vision is to encourage the youth of the Metro Atlanta area to reach their maximum potential in every aspect of life.
