WOLCOTT FAMILY FOUNDATION

The Colorado nonprofit Youth Empowerment Group (YEG) of volunteer mental health, education, and medical professionals created this evidence-based, easy-to-use life skill program for schools and youth organizations serving 4th through 12th-graders to support youth and the adults caring for them. Now community groups and parents can use it too!

Courtesy of YEG’s grantors, PowerUp is FREE to all Weld County schools, youth organizations, and sports, mentor, community, parent and family, homeschool, club, summer camp, and faith-based groups.
