About Youth Rising Estate

Empowering Youth Through Real Estate and Financial Education

Youth Rising Estate (YRE) is a non-profit foundation based in Quebec, dedicated to empowering youth aged 14 to 21 through free education in real estate and financial literacy. Our mission is to create future leaders by providing them with the knowledge and tools to build a strong, independent future.

Born from the shared vision of three passionate founders—Jean Pascal, Mactar Mbaye, and Thierry Joubert—YRE was created to give back to the community and offer young people opportunities they never had.

At YRE, we believe that financial education should not be a privilege. That’s why we offer accessible, high-quality training led by professionals from the real estate, sports, and media industries—all completely free.

Through a mix of in-person and online sessions, interactive workshops, and real-world insights, we equip youth with practical skills that last a lifetime.

Together, we’re shaping a generation of confident, financially aware young leaders.

Innovate. Educate. Share.
