Youth Empowerment Project - Camp Mariposa New Orleans

{alt}

Youth Empowerment Project (YEP) engages underserved young people through community-based education, mentoring and employment readiness programs to help them develop skills and strengthen ties to family and community. 

Through their programs,  YEP provides New Orleans youth between the ages of 7 and 24 with an array of age-appropriate services that include high school equivalency and literacy instruction; assistance with transitioning into post-secondary education and employment opportunities; job readiness training; afterschool enrichment; academic support and tutoring; summer programming; mentoring; intensive case management; assistance with basic needs; and a holistic set of client-centered ancillary wrap-around services that are unique to each youth and their individual circumstances. 

YEP is Eluna’s Camp Mariposa New Orleans partner. Camp Mariposa is a free, weekend camp program for children ages 9-12. At camp, youth participate in fun, traditional camp activities combined with education and support sessions led by trained professionals and adult mentors. Additional social and educational activities are offered for youth, and their families throughout the year. Youth who attend Camp Mariposa learn coping skills that build resiliency and break the cycle of addiction.
