New Workshops

This year the Youth Empowerment Project has grown tremendously! We have developed new curricula based on Martin Luther King's idea of the three evils: racism, militarism and materialism, which undermine American society and determine its destructive interaction with the rest of the world. We now offer 3 session units on Racism, Violence, Malterialism and Gender.

We believe that these ideas will serve as a bridge to understand and address the local and global issues that young people face every day. This summer our focus will be on reviewing our curricula and training 10 more facilitators

This Fall we will be taking these curricula into the schools. Please contact the YEP director, Justice Williams, for more information, questions, suggestions etc.

Current Workshops

Racism: “Beyond Prejudice”
Violence: “Standing Under Violence”
Materialism: “Who Owns Who?”
Gender: “Jumping Out of the Box”

Facilitator Training

This Fall we are expecting to train at least 20 young people, including high school students who will be able to take their skills and knowledge to their schools and communities.

Please contact us for more information, questions, suggestions or requests for workshops. etc.

We are always looking for more facilitators, teachers, classrooms, students, artists, musicians, organizers, writers, poets, and new age hippies of all kinds. So hit us up and get involved today! For more info, please the contact YEP director: Justice Williams.
