Youth Utilizing Power and Praise

Youth Utilizing Power & Praise

Our History

Over the years, YUPP has hosted events and programs at community centers across the Bay Area with the support of athletes, community leaders, churches, and other organizations. Today, YUPP serves students from six different counties across California through its five core programs:

  • Breaking the Barriers Performing Arts Group
  • Light It Up School of the Arts
  • Live Out Love Suicide Awareness Events
  • Holiday Outreach Events
  • Back-to-School Events

Through these programs, YUPP provides a nurturing environment where young people can grow in their faith, develop their talents, and build connections with their peers and community.

What began as the dream of two young people has flourished into a movement that uplifts youth, equips them for leadership, and glorifies God through the power of praise, the arts, and transformative opportunities.
