Canes bike Giveaway

Every year, businesses, individuals, and foundations provide funding for some of YEP's most essential community services and events.

 

We hope you’ll consider partnering with us to provide young people in the Greater New Orleans region the opportunities, resources and relationships they need to thrive.

Girls Volunteering

Volunteers help support critical services by actively engaging with young people in a meaningful way, offering encouragement, and ensuring participants feel welcome in all YEP spaces.

Volunteers Decorating

YEP operates a full-service bike shop and a thrift store located on Oretha Castle Haley Boulevard in Central City. These shops provide young people with work-based learning opportunities while also offering essential retail services to the community.

We also welcome donations of clothes, bikes, and household items.
