YEP’s community-based mentoring program serves young people ages 8-21 who have been referred by community partners.
YEP's adult education program offers flexible options to earn a high school equivalency diploma and build literacy skills for anyone 16 and older.
YEP Enriches provides free out-of-school time enrichment for young people ages 7 to 16.
YEP’s work-based learning program focuses on employment readiness skills for young people ages 16 to 24.
