Capital Youth Empowerment Program

Our Story

Founded in 2008 by Erick and Isaac King, the Capital Youth Empowerment Program (CYEP) was born from personal experiences of growing up in a single-parent household. The Kings recognized the profound impact of an absent father on child development and established four primary programs: Fathers in Touch, Project Success, Decoded STEM Mentoring, and Fathers in Tech. These initiatives aim to bridge gaps in human service systems, particularly focusing on the challenges faced by fatherless homes.

Impact

CYEP has positively impacted over 900 fathers and 500 families across Arlington County, the City of Alexandria, Fairfax County, and Washington, DC. With an impressive success rate, 80% of participants show a lower risk of abuse and neglect, while 85% report improved relationships with their children and families.

Why Donate?

Your charitable donation to CYEP directly touches the lives of children and families in the DC and Northern Virginia region. Every contribution helps sustain vital programs that empower fathers and support youth development.
