We assist youth in reaching their goals and dreams. For many, that means finishing their education and preparing to enter the workforce, college, or other training programs. For most, that includes having a license and a car, a place to live, a job, and truly have an opportunity to achieve their envisioned future. Every youth participant at Yoop! has an individual plan where they set their own goals and path to success. To help our participants overcome their barriers to education and employment, Yoop! provides these services (and many more!).
