Project T.O.U.C.H. Competitors

Founded in 2004, the Youth Empowerment Project (YEP) is a New Orleans-based non-profit organization that annually serves over 900 young people and their families. Since our inception, we have grown from a small organization focused on supporting formerly incarcerated youth to the most comprehensive nonprofit in Greater New Orleans providing services to underserved young people and their families. YEP now has locations in five neighborhoods in the Greater New Orleans region and operates four core programs: YEP Educates, YEP Enriches, YEP Mentors, and YEP Works. YEP’s mission is to engage underserved young people through community-based education, mentoring, enrichment, and employment readiness programs to help them develop skills and strengthen ties to family and community. Through YEP’s core programs, we address key barriers that impede young people from succeeding. Specifically, YEP addresses overarching challenges that include illiteracy, poverty and crime. YEP’s continuum of effective services attacks the root causes of these social ills and provides young people with the supports and skills they need to succeed in school and in their communities.

YSN provides 24-hour care and a full range of services to neglected, abused and abandoned adolescent boys. Our treatment program includes medical and psychiatric services, individual, group and family counseling, anger management and substance abuse counseling, life-skills and independent living skills training, academic remediation and tutoring, school advocacy, job readiness/vocational training, mentoring and recreational, cultural enrichment, athletic and educational activities in the community. Our goal is to provide whatever services our boys need to achieve permanency and stability in their lives, whether it is to be reunified with their family, live with extended family members, transition to a foster home, or graduate to transitional housing and independence.
