YAP facilitates DoSomething.org event

Youth Against Poverty is gearing up for a whole month of helping pets get adopted! Our organization will be taking part in DoSomething.org's Pics for Pets Campaign. This project will be utilizing social media in an effort to help share animals in our local shelters. This added exposure will help to spread the word about these animals looking for a new home. These photos of animals are often accompanied by a short description of the pet's personality and the shelter where they are currently being housed. For every 400 shares, DoSomething.org will donate much-needed supplies to the participating shelters. We are looking forward to participating and encourage all of our supporters to check out this great campaign: http://pics.dosomething.org/

Be sure to keep up with YAP's efforts via social media:

YAP is seeking NEW Corporate Partners

We continue to appreciate and work with amazing corporate partners like Converse, Reebok, Adidas and Puma, but we recognize the need to expand our company outreach. It is important to have diverse products and ensure that we do not exacerbate the generosity of our amazing partners! If you are a company seeking a charitable way to utilize overstocked, out of season or sample products, or could reccommend a company that is, please contact Amanda Chavez at amandachavez2013@yahoo.com.

Social Media Development

All of us here at Youth Against Poverty are excited for some new projects and goals! One way to help expand our outreach is through developing social media. We encourage our supporters to check out our new Twitter (https://twitter.com/YouthAgainstPov) and see the developments on our Facebook Page (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Youth-Against-Poverty/120734315517?fref=ts) We really appreciate your continued support for our organization!  Our work would not be nearly as effective without your constant actions and encouragement!

1st Meeting in YAP's New Office

Youth Against Poverty will have its first meeting this Friday in its new office that is located in Menlo Park, CA. There the YAP team, consisting of 7 youth members, will discuss our plans for this summer such as:

• Future fundraisers we will be holding (possibly another pop-up store)
• How we will effectively raise awareness to more youth in our community
• Preparing to write and draft grants
• Re-designing the YAP website to make a more professional, youth-oriented template
• How we will "trigger the youth's passions" by planning immersions to homeless shelters in San Francisco (Compass Family Services Children's Center) and San Jose
