Espoir Youth Programs Incorporated

About Espoir Youth Programs
The organization’s mission is to nurture learning in an exciting environment where promising new educational and child development practices are being introduced. ESPOIR means "hope". With your help, we can provide hope for the youth in Westbury and all over Nassau County.

The ESPOIR’s programs seek to address social issues impacting families and to prevent youth involvement in at-risk behaviors. Youth are assisted in developing the fundamentals of good character during their involvement with the agency. ESPOIR connects families to resources in the community while providing education on navigating systems to maintain full autonomy over personal life issues.
