Dear Changemaker,


Our 50th Anniversary YAP® Making Change Happen events are right around the corner with registration ending soon! Our Thurs., November 6, half-day YAP® Making Change Happen Summit and Awards Gala and our Sat., November 8,YAP® Making Change Happen 5K Walk/Run & Food Truck Brunch will elevate the evolving collective energy that has fueled our half century of delivering and advocating for community-based alternatives to placing young people in trouble or crisis or who face other complex challenges in residential care and corrections facilities and helping communities reduce neighborhood violence.  Along with dignitaries like former Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) Administrator Liz Ryan, celebrities like Richard Cabral and Judge Glenda Hatchett, whose passions align with our work, have joined our esteemed line-up of presenters and panelists. We invite you to join our celebration!
