About the Founder
Brittnei Price is the Founder and Executive Director of UB Teen Center. Growing up in South Central Los Angeles, Brittnei has dedicated her life to working with youth in various roles, including as a softball coach, teacher, mentor, youth leader, and school psychologist. Her passion for empowering young people stems from her belief that they are the forthcoming leaders of the next generation.
Brittnei's own journey was shaped significantly by softball, a sport she played throughout her youth, ultimately earning a scholarship to Alabama State University. Through softball, Brittnei had the opportunity to travel, meet new people, and experience a wealth of opportunities that expanded her horizons. These experiences not only enriched her personal growth but also deepened her understanding of the transformative power of supportive environments and access to opportunities.
Witnessing firsthand how such support can change lives, Brittnei recognized the pressing needs within her community’s youth. Determined to address these gaps, she founded UB Teen Center as a response to the challenges facing young people in her area. She was compelled to create a space that would offer the support, guidance, and opportunities necessary for their growth and success. Driven by this conviction, Brittnei established UB Teen Center to provide her community with the same level of support, opportunity, and encouragement that softball provided her and more. She is committed to creating a space where youth can thrive, grow, and prepare for a successful future.
