The Youth Empowerment Program (YEP) develops Asian American and Immigrant high school youth to tackle issues of injustice in their communities. Through education, service, and action, youth gain a deeper historical and political understanding of their experiences in America, and they work to impact social change on a local level and in their daily lives. YEP is open to all students currently attending public high school in New York. There are three YEP sessions each year: two during fall and spring terms of the school year, and one during the summer.
