Youth Empowerment Group exists to provide support to today's young people. Schools, youth organizations, community groups, and parents can use our evidence-based educational videos with fun, engaging activities to give 4th through 12th graders the information and tools needed today for mental, social, and behavioral health, safety, equality, and academic success in positive-culture building experiences! 

  • Minimal preparation and training needed with online printable supplies

  • Lessons (sessions) can be done with one student to large groups

  • Flexible 30- to 45-minute video lessons with activities can be divided to fit time schedules

  • Brief 1 to 2-minute topical video segments and short activities can be used in the classroom

  • Building confidence, empathy, and positive culture among students and between them and adult leaders is emphasized throughout

  • All CASEL competencies are taught plus other life skills shown by research to support academic and life success

  • Designed to make caring for today’s stressed youth easier by helping youth value adult support
