The Embracing Project

Support Youth Healing from Violence and Exploitation

The Embracing Project (TEP) is a nonprofit program that has served vulnerable youth in the Las Vegas community since 2007. We work with young people who have experienced sexual exploitation and violence—many of whom are involved in the juvenile justice or child welfare systems. 

We are committed to ending cycles of violence through trauma-informed care, education, and empowering opportunities. Our programs help youth build life skills, achieve self-sufficiency, succeed academically, and begin to heal. Through compassionate advocacy, restorative experiences, and strong community partnerships, we connect youth to the vital resources they need to reclaim their lives and thrive. 

How We Make a Difference 

At TEP, we equip youth with tools to thrive—not just survive. Through a combination of case management, peer connection, and direct services, we support healing and growth on every level. Our wraparound services include: 

• Crisis intervention and individual case management
• Court and testimonial advocacy
• Drop-in educational support, career development, and mentorship
• Trauma-informed therapy and peer support groups
• Basic needs assistance and community resource referrals
• Behavioral Health Services 

Your Gift Makes Healing Possible
