The Teen Empowerment Program (TEP) is an evidence-based best practice program specifically designed for teens in 6th to 12th grade. TEP reduces the risk of problem behavior while promoting healthy choices and empowering teens to lead successful lives and build strong communities. There are three essential goals that every teen in our program can build a foundation of success from: healthy behaviors, life skills, and a sense of purpose. TEP is delivered in weekly 1 hour sessions over the course of 4 or 9 months. These sessions can also include participation in community service learning projects.
