What is YEP?
YEP, or the Youth Empowerment Program, is all about bringing young people together to create healthy, supportive communities. We put young people in the driver's seat, giving them opportunities to lead and engage their peers. We connect youth and families to resources for academic success, mental and physical wellbeing, and positive relationships.
We empower young people to develop their personal values and identify a sense of purpose so they are equipped to face challenges & make big decisions, educated about the real risks of drug & alcohol use​, and empowered to choose their brightest futures.
What YEP Students Benefit From
Supportive adults who listen & care
Real-world awareness based in empowerment, not fear
Mentorship & supportive community - no matter what
Access to effective mental health resources
A culture that celebrates you while we win together
The chance to develop likeminded friendships
