Mission
Youth Empowerment provides free skill training and classes to youth under 18 not primarily involved in sports or other school community activities. Families are encouraged to join events like pottery and skiing. STOKEs instructors offer mentorship leading to positive outcomes for students. All classes are free. We are creating outdoor experiences to reduce screen time. Our mission is to help youth discover their talents and engage in our programs. Enthusiasm and a desire to grow are all thats required.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
We offer three levels of robotics STEM programs for 3rd to 12th-grade students. Some use advanced LEGO kits and tablets to create robots while older students build their own. They compete at state national and global levels with many scholarship and job prospects. All programs are free relying on donations and grants. Weve secured various grants including a $20,000 two-year grant not recorded in this fiscal year and a smaller $2500 grant. Limited instructors affect funding for younger kids programs impacting class availability. Despite challenges weve served up to 100 youth in our small county.
