MetroVoice Youth Entrepreneurs Program

Metrovoice recognized the need for healthy eating habits and adequate nutrition in the community.  Nearly 30 percent of households with children in the District of Columbia reported not being able to afford enough food.  "Food Hardship" is a term defined by the Food Research and Access Center (FRAC) to define the quality and access to food in low-income neighborhoods.  Metrovoice sets out to combat this by providing meals to over 500 children per month as well as workshops to encourage healthy eating habits and lifestyle.

MetroVoice Youth Entrepreneurs Program –Incorporated, (M-YEPI), incorporated on July 16, 2003 in Washington DC, is a non-profit serving youth and families.  MetroVoice received its 501(c) 3 tax-exempt statuses from the Internal Revenue in April 2005.  MetroVoice is a life-planning organization, which helps people and strengthens communities through strategic planning and goal setting.
