Founded in 2004, Youth Empowerment Project (YEP) is a community-based nonprofit organization that aims to empower young people to improve their lives and the lives of others. YEP offers a range of programs and services to support and uplift young individuals. YEP's programs include mentoring and youth advocacy, adult education and high school equivalency preparation, employment readiness and career exploration, as well as out-of-school time enrichment programming.

These initiatives have been developed in response to unmet community needs and are aligned with YEP's core purpose. With a mission to support formerly incarcerated young people as they transition back into their communities, YEP has expanded its reach to engage young people facing poverty, unemployment, and trauma. Their dedicated team of professionals and educators work tirelessly to ensure that all participants receive the resources and support they need to thrive.

YEP is grateful for the support from individuals, companies, and foundations who share their vision for a better society. Donations from their partners help sustain and expand their programs, making a lasting impact on the lives of young individuals. Join YEP today to be a part of this transformative movement
