Youth Empowerment Program (YEP) is a cohort for teens in high school that focuses on learning leadership skills, public speaking, and community engagement. The program has tier one scholars (first years) and tier two scholars (second year).
Tier one focuses on leadership vision with an emphasis on self-discovery, along with identifying community issues, tier two focuses on forming a community action plan based off of their chosen community issues, implementing that plan, along with continuing in their leadership vision.

Youth Empowerment Program (YEP) is a 9-session fellowship for teens in 9th-12th grades to:
- gain awareness, training, and engagement as community leaders;
- recognize the needs and issues in communities; and
