ABOUT US
Youth Utilizing Power and Praise
A place for kids to shine
In 2002, Youth Utilizing Power and Praise Organization originated from the fellowship of two young people who were seeking additional platforms to share and grow in their performing arts past the boundaries of culture and their religious affiliations.
Theophilus Booker and Shelene Huey-Booker have dedicated their lives to reaching youth and adolescents who are suffering from loneliness, identity struggles and finding a sense of belonging. Within this group lie some of the most gifted persons anyone could ever meet.
