Practical gifts.
Real possibilities.
The right supplies, equipment, or services can help turn a lesson into a skill and a next step into a new beginning. Let’s put what you have to good use.
Discuss an in-kind giftSupport that meets a real need
Give something useful.
Make something possible.
In-kind giving means contributing goods or services instead of money. A well-matched gift can support learning, career training, or day-to-day programming. Start with a conversation so we can connect your offer with a current need.
A thoughtful gift starts here.

The Corporate Closet
Ready for the interview.
Ready for what’s next.
Professional clothing can help young adults walk into an interview, training, or a new workplace feeling prepared. YBLC’s Corporate Closet puts that practical support within reach.
Grainger kickstarted the Corporate Closet in March 2026. Their support helped create a resource for participants preparing for work and their next opportunities.

Frequently asked questions.
What items are needed right now?
Needs change throughout the year. Contact our Development team to ask about current priorities before buying or collecting items. That helps ensure your gift can be put to use.
Can I drop off a donation?
Please get in touch first so we can discuss the items and arrange a time if they’re a fit. Coordinating in advance helps us plan for space, handling, and the people who will receive your gift.
Can my company organize a collection?
Start by checking current needs with our Development team. We can discuss the kinds of items, quantities, and timing before you invite colleagues or customers to take part.
What if I’d rather contribute my time?
Volunteering is another way to support young adults. Explore our Volunteer page for opportunities to share your time and experience, or our Corporate Engagement page for ways to involve your team.
