Celebrating Zelda Turner

Zelda Turner was and will continue to be an inspiration to our community.  As a former Iredel-Statesville Schools employee she saw how communication skills would benefit each student, starting with getting jobs.  She used her skills to answer this need through founding Yipe and Yipe Boutique in Downtown Statesville.  

YIPE's purpose is to provide hands-on employment based training, education, job placement and retention for youth between the ages of 14 and 21. All participants will be given the opportunity to have input into the operations and activities of the organization as it pertains to training other youth in surrounding areas .
