As a native born Belizean, Martin L. Young moved to the United States at the age of nine after his mother was granted citizenship. Soon after high school, he enlisted in the United State ARMY. This was his way of giving back to a country that took his family in; a country that gave him, his mother, and his family the opportunity to live a better life.

In the following years, Martin married, started a family, and eventually finished his service in the military. He worked for a variety companies and founded several small businesses of his own. Seeking out higher education, he went on to graduate with Honors from the College of New Rochelle Westchester in New York. Martin currently works as a Parent Coordinator for the New York City Department of Education at Cultural Academy for the Arts and Sciences High School and as an adjunct lecturer for the City Universe of New York, LaGuardia Community College.

Martin has a long history of service to his country, his city, and his community. Now, with his considerable knowledge and experience, he strives to serve his birth country of Belize by establishing the foundation.
