This week we had a conversation with Monica DuPea, Executive Director of Nevada Youth Empowerment Project (NYEP). NYEP gives homeless young women in the Reno area a chance to reroute their lives through a structured program that provides housing and basic needs, life skills training, and opportunities to practice new life skills, and the support and love of a family.
