The mission of the Youth Power Center (YPC) is to "prepare youth for leadership in the community and the workplace." We aim to achieve this with our initiative entitled "Developing the Pipeline for a Lifetime of Options and Opportunities" (DPLOO), which focuses upon youth ages thirteen to eighteen in Wards Seven and Ward Eight of Washington, DC in the areas of workplace literacy, civic engagement, academic proficiency, and personal integrity. DPLOO's workplace literacy component seeks to expose youth to the world of work in order to help them develop into well-informed employees able to function properly in the workplace and society. Its civic awareness/engagement component seeks to develop youth into civic-minded individuals who improve their community and participate in the political process. The goal of DPLOO's academic proficiency component is to strengthen youths' ability to excel academically. And finally, the goal of its personal integrity component is to develop the existing qualities of youth so that they may become highly ethical members of society. Through all four components of this initiative we "serve youth" and "build leaders."
