The Youth Empowerment Network empowers youth to lead by choice, not by chance. It focuses on providing training to youth in self-esteem, life skills, healthy choices and career development. The youth are taught to use these skills for their own betterment and then how to facilitate the teaching of these skills to their peers.
 
Focus on Your Goals, Facing the Word, Teen View Newspaper and the Teen Empowerment Fair are projects which have received funding and commendations in the past.

The next phase for the Youth Empowerment Network is to allow community agencies to replicate these programs through specialized training from the Foundation and licensing of these programs for administration to their own youth.

As we focus on Foster Youth, we focus on our future. Children who have been victims of the system, who want to make it on their own need specific independent living skills. If they wish to become emancipated minors, they must provide proof of  financial independence.

By teaching youth how to create and run their own business on the internet, they are able to create a stream of income regardless of where they land. When they are able to complete their emancipation paperwork, their financial self sufficiency  requirement will be met. They will be financially free!
