Join Team MOVE to help empower youth growing up in neighborhoods where poverty is prevalent! Runners are asked to raise $1,500, which will provide 20 weeks of training and leadership development to a U.S. teenager who is anxious to become an agent for positive change in his or her community. With your support, a teen will learn to lead this change—both now and into the future.

Youth ages 14 to 18 participate in World Vision’s Youth Empowerment Program (YEP) to:

• Gain the tools and experiences that prepare and encourage civic participation and community leadership
• Develop policy recommendations to bring positive change to their communities
• Gather with all delegates from across the nation at the YEP Summit in Washington, D.C., to present their recommendations to their congressional representatives
  
• Continue to promote positive sustainable change in their communities, and to train their peers to do the same.

“It was life changing,” youth delegate Lauren Norris says. “ . . . I didn’t know how much of an impact that we could actually make.”

 “After you leave the YEP Summit, you leave with a whole different spirit,” explains YEP delegate Dominque Lewis. “You leave with a mind that you can do whatever you
want to do.”

Watch the YEP video.

Team MOVE thanks you for empowering youth to help change their communities!
