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 recommend a company that is, please contact Amanda Chavez at amandachavez2013@yahoo.com.

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
