Today on Veterans Day, we salute the brave men and women who have served and continue to serve our country with honor and courage. 🇺🇸
We are especially proud of OYC Miami program alum Angie Thomas, now serving in the US Navy, who recently returned to visit our center and reconnect with CEO @i_amt4l_brown . Navy Service Member Angie represents the strength, purpose, and promise we strive to nurture in every young person who walks through our doors.
To all veterans, thank you for your service, your sacrifice, and your unwavering commitment to protecting our freedom.💙

🎧 Creativity is flowing and inspiration is in full volume at the We The Best Music Lab at OYC Miami!
Students are exploring the world of sound in new ways—learning about sensory music, chorus, and rhythm while creating custom beats and discovering the power of expression through music. This creative journey is guided by Guitars Over Guns and powered by the incredible support of Playing for Change Foundation.
The We the Best Music Lab is more than a studio—it’s a movement of creativity and confidence where every note, lyric, and beat tells a story. 💙🎶

OYC High School students and @touchingmiamiwithlove youth were suited up for a powerful day of learning with the @miamibeachfire and @miamifirerescue and @mdcfireacademy . Through hands-on activities—from carrying fire hoses up and down stairwells to targeting water streams—they gained a deeper understanding of fire safety, teamwork, and emergency response.
This enriching experience exposed our youth to new career pathways, sparked curiosity, and helped them look ahead to what’s possible in their futures.
Thank you to the firefighters and staff who created such a memorable and inspiring experience! 🚒🔥

The Rise Up with OYC Miami Pitch Competition was a powerful evening of purpose and possibility! Seven inspiring entrepreneurs—Aaden & Addi Sweet Treats, M. Rose Designs, Historic Overtown Colored Town, The Drop, BX, Generation Nexxt Training, and Sacred Flavors—took the stage to pitch their dreams for a share of $25,000 in prizes.
The program kicked off with opening remarks from Tina Brown, and featured moving words from OYC Founder Alonzo Mourning, who reminded us that when we invest in ideas, we invest in transformation.
A heartfelt thank you to our incredible judges: Allen Furst, Michael Rose, Felecia Hatcher, and David Zinn—and to Jared Kaplan and Steve Zuckerman for guiding our finalists with expert mentorship throughout the journey.
At OYC Miami, we believe in building pathways to Economic Sustainability—and this pitch competition proved just how bright the future can be when bold ideas are met with the right support.
