If your school offers programs in leadership development, community engagement, civic education, or youth empowerment, starting a Y.E.P. Initiatives chapter is for you!
Imagine a group of passionate young leaders eager to learn, collaborate, and take action in their communities. Y.E.P.I. is your ultimate tool to inspire and empower them.
For hundreds of educators and mentors, Y.E.P.I. makes leadership development more engaging and rewarding. It fuels their drive to support youth in unlocking their potential and witnessing real impact.
Y.E.P.I. benefits students, mentors, schools, and communities alike. From hands-on projects and workshops to access to expert training and resources, Y.E.P.I. aligns with leadership and civic education goals to strengthen your programs and curriculum.
If you’re interested in starting a Y.E.P.I. chapter at your school, review the eligibility criteria to see if your school qualifies. Once approved, our advisor liaison will guide you every step of the way to ensure your chapter becomes a meaningful and empowering experience for you and your peers.
All Y.E.P.I. chapters must be based at a high school, have a chapter advisor officially recognized by the school, and include at least ten (10) student members and one (1) advisor.
Make sure you have the backing of your school’s leadership—this could be your principal, student activities coordinator, or community engagement director.
Once approved, complete the official process by submitting the chapter request form.
After approval, submit your chapter’s membership details by entering your roster.
Wait for our team to reach out before you begin. Good Luck!
