Our Mission - Brooklyn Youth Charitable Investment Group

What is the BYCIG?

The Brooklyn Youth Charitable Investment Group (BYCIG) is a modern educational organization that aims to teach both soft and technical financial skills to high schoolers of all backgrounds. Our goal is to equip the next generation with the tools to lead, invest, and innovate.

What does the BYCIG do?

In short, we raise money, invest it, and donate it to charity.
Our foundation rests on three core principles, consistently maintained.

Charity

We’ve raised over $30,000 to fund youth initiatives and empower student-led financial decisions.

Education

We offer real courses, team roles, hands-on experience, and speaker events that prepare students for future careers.

Influence

Through journalism, branding, and outreach, members make an impact in their communities and the broader youth economy.

What's our impact?

We consistently track our growth and success through member surveys and reporting tools.
