Lives Transformed Through YEP
Every success story represents a young person who found their path, developed their skills, and built a foundation for a successful career. Here are some of the amazing journeys of our graduates.
Sarah M. - From Uncertain to Team Leader
"When I first joined YEP, I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. I was struggling to find a job and was losing confidence. The Work Ethic Certification program completely changed my perspective."
Sarah completed the 8-week program and was placed at a local retail company. Within 18 months, she was promoted to team leader, supervising a staff of 12 people.
"The skills I learned at YEP – punctuality, responsibility, professionalism – they didn't just help me get a job. They helped me excel and grow into a leader."
Marcus T. - Discovering His Calling
Marcus came to YEP feeling lost and unsure about his future. Through our career counseling program, he discovered a passion for healthcare that he never knew existed.
After completing our programs, Marcus enrolled in nursing school with a clear goal and the work ethic skills to succeed in his demanding studies.
"YEP didn't just teach me how to work – they helped me figure out what I wanted to work toward. I'm now in nursing school, and I couldn't be happier."
Aisha K. - Young Entrepreneur
Aisha always had a dream of starting her own business but didn't know where to begin. Through YEP's entrepreneurship support program, she developed the skills and confidence to turn her dream into reality.
Today, Aisha runs a successful online boutique selling handmade jewelry. She credits YEP for teaching her the business fundamentals and work ethic needed to succeed as an entrepreneur.
"The entrepreneurship program gave me the foundation I needed. Now I'm building my own business and creating opportunities for others in my community."
Jordan L. - Building a Career in Trades
Jordan struggled in traditional school settings and felt like college wasn't for him. Through YEP, he discovered a passion for hands-on work and was connected with an apprenticeship opportunity in the trades.
Now a certified electrician, Jordan owns his own home and is giving back by mentoring other young people interested in skilled trades.
"YEP saw potential in me when I couldn't see it myself. They connected me with an amazing opportunity that changed my life forever."
