    • About Us

    Founded in 1973 by Oakland teachers and local civic leaders, YEP was designed to enhance the employment and education outcomes of low-income and systems-impacted Oakland youth through job training, skill building, and education fused with hands-on work experience. 

    YEP serves 500-600 14-24 year olds annually, offering a comprehensive menu of employment training, high school credit recovery, transitional housing, and career development programs. 

    YEP operates out of a campus in Central East Oakland which includes a 26,000 sq. ft. solar-powered workforce training center, 5,000 sq. ft. training warehouse, commercial kitchen, construction workshop, computer lab, alternative high school, tiny home community, and a recently completed 30-bed dormitory for homeless and housing insecure young adults—all designed and built by Oakland youth.
