PROGRAM POLICY STATEMENT
Every child in America deserves a chance to succeed. We don't always know why a child isn't learning, or why they haven't been able to graduate. There can be any number of traumatic events and social, physiology, mental or economic challenges that place barriers to learning that seem insurmountable to a child. Youth Emporium believes in every young person's right to develop into a purposeful adult. We are an independent child advocate and source of support organization. We pride ourselves on guiding our young membership population through whatever difficulties and stressful events that negatively influenced their ability to perform at their best. The outline below provides a general overview of the services we offer. Each member will be given a tailored plan to follow so that they can realistically achieve their academic, personal and career goals. With the joint effort of parents, educators, community and Youth Emporium's staff, each YEI Member will be given a chance to achieve their own American dream.
