About B.A.N.C.
Our mission responds directly to a pressing need in our community – a lack of exposure to meaningful career paths among the youth aged 18 to 25. These critical years mark a turning point where decisions can either lead to empowerment or a cycle of despair. We recognize the role of our community in perpetuating this cycle, and we are determined to transform it by equipping our youth with the tools they need to succeed.
By inspiring the youth to embark on different career paths we can impact economic development. Just having one of these individuals embark on a positive journey will create a chain of events that inspires individuals younger than them to make positive choices as well.
Banc is a membership group made up of young black men and women from Western Pennsylvania.
​
The group was formed during the height of the pandemic with a purpose of having a positive impact on the conditions in underserved and black communities.
