The Youth Empowerment Program (YEP) is a statewide council of homeless youth ages 12- 21 that have joined together to improve the lives of all children.

Through YEP, homeless youth become active community members and productive citizens by participating in community service, leadership training, and advocacy activities.

These youth put their own ideas into action and are able to make significant changes to local state and national policies.

OUR MISSION

YEP will empower youth by increasing opportunities for them to take control of their situations while building self-esteem and improving their quality of life through advocacy, leadership, community service and education.

FACT: More than 60,000 children and youth will experience homelessness in Ohio this year.

FACT: 40% of persons living in poverty are children. (U.S. Bureau of Census)
