In her own words, Brittany Young, the founder of the Baltimore-based organization B-360, spoke about dirt bike culture and expansion.
Brittany Young has pride in where she comes from. And Young, who was born and raised in Baltimore, uses that pride to pour back into her city with B-360 — an organization which focuses on empowering youth by merging dirt bike culture with STEM education.
The organization, which launched in 2017, has become a beacon of light during a time where dirt bike culture in the city has been increasingly scrutinized and criminalized. That hasn’t stopped the organization in uplifting dozens of local children while garnering concrete structural support; just last week B-360 was awarded $3 million in federal funding in support of building the first dirt bike campus in the United States.
Young, who has a background in engineering and who attended the Baltimore Polytechnic Institute, is doing her part, setting up the next generation of Baltimore youth on a path to success. In her own words, Young spoke about her B-360 organization, dirt bike culture in Baltimore City, and more.
