YOUTH EMPOWERMENT ZONE

YEZ helps youth build confidence, leadership, and life skills through mentorship, emotional wellness, and family support. It is more than a program—it is a space to grow, connect, and lead.

What is YEZ?

ACE’s Youth Empowerment Zone is committed to nurturing youth development through hands-on learning, family engagement, and personalized support. We guide participants in building communication skills, resolving conflict, and becoming positive leaders at home and in their communities. Through a holistic and relational approach, YEZ helps youth grow strong, stay grounded, and reach their full potential.
