Our theme, “Fifty and Forward,” exemplifies our strength and determination to continue to connect youth through our programs and partnerships to empower them for everyday success. Moving forward, as in the past, BUF will address the needs of youth, including at-risk and the underserved throughout metro Detroit and the state of Michigan at large.

Together, we have impacted thousands of youth, adults and communities for over five decades to strive despite various social, economic and even the current COVID-19 pandemic challenges. It is our vision to continue to uplift, encourage and empower those that are underrepresented and underserved. We take this historical moment to passionately and intentionally commit to the goal of “Fifty and Forward.”

Together, we will make a difference!
