Executive Founder Sarah Swayze poses for a portrait at Empowering Youths of Iowa in Cedar Rapids. Swayze said as a former Washington High School teacher she saw several students fall through the cracks due to outside situations, social anxiety and family situations. She created the program with the hopes of helping more at-risk students to graduate from high school. She hopes to have an Empowering Youth of Iowa program in the four quadrants of Cedar Rapids to serve more youth.
