People Empowering People

The People Empowering People initiative is a personal and family development program with a strong community focus.

The PEP program builds upon individual life experiences and strengths to encourage growth in communication and problem solving skills, parent/family relationships and community involvement. The program has graduated over one thousand people in over fifteen years.

The first PEP class was offered in the fall of 2008 in Spanish to the Bridgeport Community. The 16 graduates are listed below
