Youth Development Programs

Project Success is how we engage with youth to better promote positive youth empowerment and healthy lifestyle choices for students through youth development programs.

CYEP wants to ensure we provide our youth with youth training programs that will help them achieve their goals and become successful, productive adults.

The youth training programs on Project Success addresses a variety of topics and subject matter which include teen pregnancy prevention, domestic violence prevention, STEM, mental health awareness and social and emotional learning.

Project Success Youth Development Programs

Classes We Teach:

Teen Pregnancy Prevention

Teen pregnancy prevention and HIV/AIDS risk reduction youth training programs are designed to promote positive youth development and healthy lifestyle choices for students.
Healthy Relationships-Safe Dates / (HYPE)

HYPE is a one-of-a-kind teen program that targets attitudes and behaviors associated with dating abuse and domestic violence.
Mental Health Awareness

CYEP creates a supportive environment to address the mental health needs of all the youth who participate in our youth training programs. We aim to reduce mental health stigma, increase mental health advocacy, build resiliency, and teach strategies that promote positive mental health.
Level Up

Our work teaches youth to be social-emotional learners, sound decision-makers, and leaders among their peers.

CYEP

Positive Youth Empowerment

Our Why:

CYEP is committed to providing youth with the social-emotional learning (SEL) skills needed to thrive in today’s society through our youth training programs.

SEL is the process of developing the self-awareness, self-control, and interpersonal skills that are vital for school, work, and life success. Youth with solid social-emotional skills can better cope with everyday challenges and benefit academically, professionally, and socially.

CYEP understands you can’t show a kid how much you know until you show the kid how much you care about them. Our goal is to offer our youth a pathway to their best possible future via these youth training programs.

Furthermore, by using a combination of research-based curriculum, group-style learning, and engaging program facilitation for our youth empowerment programs, we allow our young adults to take control of their own lives.
