YEPP (Youth Empowerment Performance Project) is a brand that provides a safe space for LGBTQ youth who are experiencing homelessness. Their mission is to support these youth in healing from trauma through exploration, story-telling, and performance. YEPP offers a range of programs and services to meet the needs of the youth they serve.

Their Community Arts Program and Healing Performance Program allow participants to express themselves creatively and find healing through the arts. Additionally, their Leadership Program empowers youth to develop important skills and become leaders in their communities. The organization is guided by a set of values and frameworks including Harm Reduction, Trauma Informed Care, Transformative Justice, Restorative Justice, and Education for Liberation.

These principles shape their programs and organizational infrastructure. YEPP has a dedicated and diverse team, including interns, volunteers, consultants, and board members, who work together to manifest the organization's mission and vision. They are supported by foundations, organizations, major donors, businesses, grassroots groups, and the community at large.
