Wake Youth Enrichment was founded with the mission to empower youth through diverse educational experiences and creative enrichment. Originating from a desire to provide accessible programs for underserved youth in Wake County, our organization has grown by collaborating with community leaders, educators, and volunteers dedicated to fostering creativity, critical thinking, and personal growth. The organization started with small after-school programs and workshops, quickly expanding to include a variety of programs such as STEM, arts, sports, and life skills, all tailored to inspire confidence and engage young minds.
From our initial efforts to support a handful of students, we now proudly reach hundreds of youth each year, continually expanding our programs to respond to the needs and interests of the community.
