Since 2009, KAPN and its supporters have sponsored the annual Youth Empowerment Seminar (“YES”), an interactive one-day seminar that provides local high school students with the opportunity to interact with and become inspired through talks and discussions with celebrity speakers, athletes, high-level professionals, and government leaders throughout the United States and the World.

Recent seminar themes have included “Be Uncomfortable”, “Challenge Accepted”, and “Level Up”, and the event, year after year, offers epiphanies and breakthrough moments that instills confidence and motivation into young boys and girls to help them to embrace challenges, overcome obstacles, achieve greater, and ultimately discover themselves and their deepest passions.

A new scholarship essay contest has been a huge hit with the students, giving them an opportunity to express themselves in front of their peers and a realistic chance at some significant cash prizes!
