"Many black high school graduates are entering college or the workforce, ill-equipped and set up for failure," says Reggie Dunlop, founder and CEO of 4BlackYouth.com. "In response, we have come up with a comprehensive ‘tools to success' solution that takes African American youth from the trailing edge to the leading edge in academic, career and entrepreneurial readiness."

Dunlop also sees the site as a unique opportunity for marketers to become involved in the academic success of black students.

Brand activation at live events will be available to sponsors in the future. For further information about 4BlackYouth.com contact Reggie Dunlop at reggie@4blackyouth.com.
