Alize Beal
Co-founder and Director
of Y.U.N.G. Harlem
A true Harlem girl, Alize Beal was fortunate enough to learn that arts and culture are important to cultivating a young mind. She studied Opera and performed with the Young People Chorus of New York City from the age of eight until she was senior in high school.
Her love for music led her to become a vocal major at Talent Unlimited High School. During her time in high school Alize was able to study abroad in South Africa, Uganda, Japan and Costa Rica. During her senior year in high school she was able to Coordinate a trip to Uganda for her debate team where they went to teach and educate the people of Kampala about the severity of common diseases like malaria, how to stay healthy, as well as think critically to progress in their education.
At Howard University Alize immediately became a shining student leader; working on the homecoming committee, serving on numerous policy boards, and becoming one of the top mentors to underclassmen and perspective Bison. One of her proudest moments however would come her junior year where she was asked to speak on solutions for ending domestic violence at The White House.
Without a doubt, Alize is a young philanthropist working to bring change not just to Harlem, but the global community as a whole. Beal has a passion for the youth and is enthusiastic about helping them attain their highest potential. She believes that the youth in Harlem must be taught not to put a ceiling on what they want to achieve and that everyone has to create their own path to greatness
After perfecting her craft in finance and marketing at IT recruiting firm TEKsystems, Alize is in pursuit of becoming the first female Mayor of New York City.
She wants Harlem to regain its rich culture while she gives back to the community that gave her so much. |

Tiffany Bender
Co-founder
of Y.U.N.G. Harlem
Tiffany Bender was born and raised in Harlem, New York. She obtained her Bachelor's degree at Syracuse University in The College of Visual and Performing Arts.
However, Tiffany's extracurricular life would prove to set the stage for her career. She was a member of the university's premier modern and ballet dance organization Creations Dance Company. She turned her charismatic personality into a full time hobby; she began hosting all of the university's major events including the annual fashion show, NAACP banquets, and the Multicultural Spring Show - an event that buses hundreds of admitted students to Syracuse to preview what the school has to offer. By the time she graduated in the spring of 2011, she was nominated for the 2011 Woman of Distinction and given both the La Fuerza Community Enhancement Award and Syracuse University Vice President Award for Senior Leadership. She was even profiled in the university's Medley Magazine where she was called the renaissance woman of campus in an article entitled "Meaningful Connections".
In the spring of 2012, Tiffany received her master's degree at the illustrious S.I. Newhouse School for Public Communications. It was here she and hosted Breakfast with Tiffany -a morning talk show on the university's Orange Television Network. She was also the host of the network's only fitness show "Cabin Fever Fitness". It was here that Tiffany was able to share her story of triumph after losing nearly sixty pounds and encourages others to eat healthy and get fit. Tiffany hopes to continue making her community proud by hosting engaging events and fundraisers for Y.U.N.G. Harlem.
Tiffany believes the youth of her community have the power to reignite the greatness of Harlem and it honors her to give them the necessary push -no matter the means.
Tiffany's career aspirations include hosting a nationally syndicated television show as well as producing and writing for a major network. |
