WITH US.
Welcome! We are very glad you are interested in working at YEP and look forward to getting to know you.
Whether operating behind the scenes, working directly with our participants, or staffing YEP Bike Works or Thrift Works, all YEP team members play a critical role in the services we offer through YEP Works, YEP Enriches, YEP Mentors and YEP Educates. We work out of five sites including four in Orleans Parish: Central City, Mid City, the West Bank and New Orleans East. We also have a site in St. Charles Parish, where we are able to better reach the river parishes of Louisiana.
Thank you for your interest, and for considering YEP as you decide where you will commit your time and talent.
