Youth Empowerment Program

Directions Website

Youth Empowerment Program This happens as student members learn about drug prevention while also building leadership and public speaking skills through weekly after-school programming.

YEP (Youth Empowerment Program) is an after-school substance use prevention program in Dunn County, WI that also helps students build and work on skills (leadership/communication/collaboration). 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. We understand students can’t always make it to every school-based meeting (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. You can check the website for new content, typically posted most weekdays. Students from ALL Dunn County middle schools are welcome to participate with our online program.
