Powerful Beyond Measure (PBM) is a 501c3 non-profit that implements efforts towards youth and community development; focusing on creative, academic, professional, civic, social and personal growth by strategically integrating the arts, entertainment, sports and media industries into programming. Our vision is to utilize these influential fields to reach the urban communities of our targeted youth, via multi- dimensional services that will help positively shape young people and empower the adults around them to become active leaders and contributors. We aim towards the following:

o To impact urban youth by exposing them to enriching and positive experiences, opportunities, and adults leading them towards a greater chance for a productive adult life and away from negative endeavors.

o To create alliances with other non-profits to support them by developing a collective effort to assist and empower those around us; as well as support like-minded organizations with resources and services.

o To help lower income families experience the same rights as those of greater income i.e. education, job training & access, programs and food/clothing through volunteerism and information

PBM is volunteer run. It is primarily funded by donations and corporate sponsorships. Founded in 2006, the organization began with its charter program, C.A.P.E. League, a multi-dimensional youth enrichment program. In 2008, we launched Exploring Possibilities, a unique career day for teens and young adults to discover non-traditional professions. In 2018, PBM launched the Future Fund to grant small, monetary gifts to help support the dreams and goals of young people.
