Otero Youth Empowerment Project (OYEP) is dedicated to empowering, supporting, and advocating for youth in our community. Through education, outreach, and youth-focused programs, we work to create safer spaces, stronger connections, and brighter futures for young people.
OYEP provides age-appropriate anti-bullying education and school assemblies designed to help students recognize bullying, build empathy, speak up safely, and create a culture of kindness and respect.
OYEP connects with youth and families through community events, outreach activities, and partnerships that promote positive relationships, youth involvement, and stronger connections throughout our community.
OYEP creates opportunities for young people to build confidence, develop leadership skills, discover their strengths, and use their voices to make a positive difference in their schools and community.
Our mission is to empower youth by providing education, support, advocacy, and opportunities that strengthen confidence, encourage kindness, and help create safe, supportive communities where every young person has the opportunity to thrive.
