Youth Empowerment Program

Youth Empowerment Program YEP is a student led after school drug prevention program in Dunn County. You can check the website for new content, typically posted most weekdays.

Our Mission:

To provide middle-school students with drug prevention programming and opportunities to learn new skills while making a positive impact in their communities. This happens as student members learn about drug prevention while also building leadership and public speaking skills through weekly after-school programming. We understand students can’t always make it to every school-based mee

ting (check the homepage for details on in-person meetings), so our website offers a chance to keep YEP members engaged with games, all the important YEP info, and more. Students from ALL Dunn County middle schools are welcome to participate with our online program.

Talking to a loved one about getting help can be hard, but it can make a big difference. Listen without judgment and speak with kindness. Remember that it takes a lot of strength for someone to open up about the challenges they face. It may take many conversations before they get help.
