OUR MISSION
I Am Young Power (YP) is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization under Section 501(c)(3) who equips young people ages 6–28 to discover their gifts, find their voice, and use it — building confident communicators, innovators, and community contributors who create lasting change at every level, from their neighborhood to the world.
Every number below represents a young person whose potential is either unlocked - or lost.
YP exists to make sure it's never lost.
Young people ages 15-24 worldwide - 16% of humanity
of people struggle with public speaking anxiety
jobs at risk from automation by 2030 without tech skills
more likely to succeed when youth have developmental assets
THREE PILLARS OF IMPACT
of people fear public speaking. Early intervention dramatically reduces this barrier - and YP starts at age 6.
General Population Research
higher unemployment among youth vs. adults globally. Structured entrepreneurship & tech education is among the most evidence-backed interventions.
Kauffman Foundation
Youth who engage in leadership during formative years are dramatically more likely to remain civically active for life — compounding impact with every graduate.
Corporation for National & Community Service
Across schools, families, and institutions, young people are conditioned to hold back — their ideas dismissed, their potential untapped. The world loses out on an enormous force for good every single day this continues.
YP creates the environment and the programming that young leaders need to uncover their gifts, build real skills, and step into impact — not someday, but now. We grow global leaders from the inside out.
WE LEAD
This is where every YP member finds their voice. WE LEAD is our core leadership curriculum — where young people don't just learn about leadership, they practice it by leading real sessions, hosting real events, and communicating with real confidence.
What if the next great app was built by a 12-year-old from Mississippi? Tech Wiz makes that possible — immersing young leaders in coding, hardware, and digital development so they enter a tech-driven world not just prepared, but ahead.
Every great business started as an idea in someone too young to be taken seriously. Business Bootcamp changes that. Young entrepreneurs leave with a real business plan, a compelling brand, and the confidence to build something the world hasn't seen yet.
No child leads on an empty stomach. Nourish & Thrive eliminates food insecurity while wrapping young people in the social support and counseling they need to overcome what's happening at home — and rise anyway.
Breaking the cycle of financial instability — one young leader at a time. Wealth Builders equips YP members with real money skills, investment knowledge, and the confidence to build wealth that outlasts them.
THE MISSION NEEDS YOU - NOW
Every day without support is a young leader whose voice goes unheard.
Find your place in the village - and make it count.
