“Nevada Youth Empowerment Project provides residential and outpatient programming and education to prepare willing older youth for independent self-sufficient living.”

* We are a local 501©3 non-profit organization.

* We were founded in September of 2007.

* We received charitable status in February of 2008.

* We provide residential behavioral rehabilitative independent living programming to older female youth in Northern Nevada ages 17-21 years old.

NYEP is committed to providing a safe, caring, supportive home to Northern Nevada’s young women who have been removed from their residence due to circumstances beyond their control. Our program is designed to make a positive difference in their life. We provide a structured and supportive environment that encourages and cultivates personal growth by helping to develop appropriate skills and encourage appropriate risk taking, all the while taking steps towards true independence.
