Mission 

The mission of Empowerment Enterprise II, Inc. (EEII) is to equip youth with viable life skills through our interactive programs.  EEII is dedicated to ensuring that youth who participate in our innovative, relevant programming will develop critical life skills while preparing themselves for self-mastery, success through thoughtful consideration, familial responsibility, and community leadership.  It is our goal that individuals who complete our programs will comprehend their value, power, and strength in order to better their own lives as well as create change in their communities.
