What is Youth Empowering Youth (YEY)?

Youth Empowering Youth is a leadership program and movement for children and youth. Our Children’s program is for ages 8-12, and consists of eight 1-hour sessions. Our Youth program is for ages 13-18, and consists of nine 1.5-hour sessions. All our sessions are currently being held online via zoom. Each class shares a new concept to help students take accountability for their thoughts, feelings and actions, thus moving them into a place of confidence, security, and self-assurance.

YEY intends to implement the ideas demonstrated in the Success for Teens book. The topics shared during the Youth program are as follows:

Session 1 - Ripple Effect

Session 2 - Attitude Create Your Life

Session 3 - The Moment You Stop Blaming, You Take Back your Power

Session 4 - Take Action! With small Steps

Session 5 - Fail Forward to Success

Session 6 - Drive Your Life with Powerful habits

Session 7 - Be a Student of Life

Session 8 - Momentum is Your Responsibility

Session 9 - Graduation & Next Steps

Youth Empowering Youth is a division of Low Entropy, a nonprofit organization that is making personal growth accessible to all, and in doing so providing people with the tools to change themselves and the world.
