Founded in 2004, the Youth Empowerment Project (YEP) is a New Orleans-based non-profit organization that annually serves over 900 young people and their families. Since our inception, we have grown from a small organization focused on supporting formerly incarcerated youth to the most comprehensive nonprofit in Greater New Orleans providing services to underserved young people and their families. YEP now has locations in five neighborhoods in the Greater New Orleans region and operates four core programs: YEP Educates, YEP Enriches, YEP Mentors, and YEP Works.
YEP’s mission is to engage underserved young people through community-based education, mentoring, enrichment, and employment readiness programs to help them develop skills and strengthen ties to family and community.
Through YEP’s core programs, we address key barriers that impede young people from succeeding. Specifically, YEP addresses overarching challenges that include illiteracy, poverty and crime. YEP’s continuum of effective services attacks the root causes of these social ills and provides young people with the supports and skills they need to succeed in school and in their communities.
