WHO WE ARE
Empowering Youth, Transforming Communities
Youth Empowerment and Crime Prevention (YECP) is a grassroots organisation based in Bristol, created to tackle the root causes of youth crime, gang involvement, and exploitation—particularly among Black and racially minoritised communities. Founded by passionate community members who have lived experience of the issues we address, our goal is to break the cycle of violence, discrimination, and marginalisation through mentoring, education, and support.
At YECP, we are dedicated to providing a safe and inclusive space for young people to learn, grow, and thrive. Our team is committed to making a meaningful impact and fostering positive change in the lives of the youth we serve.

“I connected with YECP last week, and within just a few days, they have already made a big difference for me. They helped me update my CV, making it clearer, more professional, and better suited for job applications. Now, I feel much more confident applying for jobs.
In addition to improving my CV, YECP is also actively supporting me in finding a job in the IT sector, which is the field I want to build my career in. Their guidance and assistance have been incredibly helpful, and I truly appreciate their efforts. Many thanks to YECP for their support!”

Before I connected with YECP, I didn’t know where to start. I wanted to get into IT but didn’t have the right guidance or support. They helped me find and enroll in a course, and now I’m finally working toward a career I’m passionate about."
"They even helped me with travel costs and basic supplies to get started. It might not seem like much, but it meant everything to me. Thanks to YECP, I feel like I have a future.
Ayan Ali, 19 years old
When I first came to YECP, I was shy and didn’t speak much English. I felt alone and unsure about how to improve. The team supported me with kindness and helped me find an English course that was right for me."
"Now I go to class every week, I’m learning to speak and understand better, and I feel more confident every day. YECP made me believe in myself again.
