Y.E.P. – Youth Empowerment Program

Y.E.P. – Youth Empowerment Program: Our youth programming has been intentionally built out with curriculum and services to address the needs of our young sisters in the community. Our Youth Empowerment Program (Y.E.P.) aims to create a safe space for our young girls to heal and develop positive self-image and confidence. In doing so, we begin to unsettle existing responses to community violence. Y.E.P. participants engage in various learning activities as well as educational field trips designed to support the development of positive self-esteem and empowerment. Some of the learning activities are adapted from CERP and Y-LIPSTICK.
