It has become a testament to the resilience of the adolescent spirit — join today and help us change the lives of teens around the country.

Our Courses

Education is a top priority at the BYCIG. All of our members start by completing our signature “Intro to Finance” course, which teaches fundamental concepts of investing, and then can choose any other course. Certain roles have certain education requirements: for example, all of our investors have completed the “Valuation 101” course. 100% of BYCIG members are enrolled and active in at least one course.
