Young’s recent efforts have been directed to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where she and her team are working to launch the film industry, which disappeared amidst the chaos of war and corruption in the 1990s. She has teamed up with Tshoper Kabambi, Deborah Basa, and Ephraim Faith on film initiatives. They work with Bimpa Production in Kinshasa, which is producing a film that Young has scripted and that Tshoper Kabambi is directing. Young is also working on literacy and educational projects, and is teaching students at various schools throughout the DR-Congo how to create their own books, given the relative lack of books in the Congo. In Lodja, DR-Congo, she works with Professor Abbé On'okundji Okavu Ekanga, author of "Les Entrailles du Porc-épic: Une nouvelle éthique pour l’Afrique". Mr. Okundji returned to his home village in the Congo to help it recover from the Congo war of 1998-2004.
