Big Sky Youth Empowerment

Big Sky Youth Empowerment (BYEP) was incorporated in 2001 to address the need for creative, preventive, and strength based programming for vulnerable teenagers residing in Gallatin County, Montana. As an organization, we believe that vulnerable, or 'at-risk' teenagers constitute a valuable and underserved segment of our community. Consistent with youth across the nation, a number of adolescents living in Gallatin County, Montana are faced with dynamic barriers to success and challenged with circumstances outside of their control. Risk factors include adverse childhood trauma caused by family members (abuse, family in trouble with the law, neglect), environment (living within the foster care system, exposure to domestic violence, exposure to substance abuse), and instability (low income, frequent relocation). BYEP is proven to decrease problem behavior, develop character, and catalyze potential in vulnerable teenagers. Our ultimate goal is to help these young people become tomorrows leaders and empowered community members--grounded by a strong sense of self and a deep respect for the land, rivers, mountains and open spaces that inspire us to grow and learn.
