Youth Empowerment Program

YEP is a program designed to help develop soft skills and leadership of youth in middle school and high school. It is a safe space to experience life through a different lens. They create and facilitate conversations around topics that directly affect the youth and the environment that they live in. They also provide experiences outside of their neighborhood to give them perspective that extends beyond what they currently see.
