Morphology

empower + yute

The meaning is directly compositional: 'empower' (to give authority or confidence) combined with 'yute' (a dialectal/slang form of 'youth' = young people) yields 'enable young people', so a learner who knows both constituents can infer the meaning. Note that 'yute' is nonstandard slang and may be unfamiliar to some learners, but this does not affect the compositional transparency of the phrase.

Etymology

Empower yute comes from local speech where yute is a common way to say 'youth' and empower means to give power. Imagine giving a young person a key or a little boost so they can open doors and speak up; that's why it means 'to help young people gain confidence and opportunities'.
