YEP - Youth Empowerment Program Leadership starts at YEP! Professional peer-support staff assist youth in achieving the goals they set throughout their leadership journeys.

Join our community
Inspire young peopleโ€”and yourselfโ€”to envision bright, fulfilling futures built on confidence, resilience, and values-based decisions
Leadership starts at YEP! The YEP curriculum is designed to build life-skills, resilience and social-emotional strength. We empower youth to become confident leaders of their own lives, of others, and in their communities. Participants graduate with the skills and confidence to make values-based decisions and inspire others.

"Watching students discover their values and create a voice for their excited future is what inspires me every day." โ€“ Rebecca W., Program Development Manager.

Rebecca is talking about YEP - Youth Empowerment Program, a crucial service that builds resilience and provides coping skills to the next generation in Central Arkansas.

Investing in our youth creates generational stability. It helps young people overcome challenges and look forward to a bright, empowered futureโ€”a true return on investment for our community.

This GivingTuesday your support for YEP is directly funding that potential! Help us reach our $35,000 goal to secure all our vital programs through the New Year.

โ€œWhat I will remember most about Camp Thrive is how important it is to have community. The students over the weekend were so supportive of one another and it just reminds you how important it is to know that you are not alone in your journey" โ€” Jack, YEP Peer Support Specialist

That powerful reflection from one of our team members perfectly captures the heart of our YEP - Youth Empowerment Program. Our team works tirelessly to build environmentsโ€”whether at camp, in a classroom, or after schoolโ€”where young people feel supported and equipped to face all life's challenges.
