Gratitude and Opportunity

Hello Kris,

As we watch YPIE seniors submit their college applications, we are also celebrating YPIE alums, now college graduates, securing jobs in careers they once thought out of reach.

To ensure more YPIE students access jobs aligned with their credentials, we are connecting YPIE college juniors and seniors with our network of partners to help students find their first jobs.

We are grateful to all of you for rolling up your sleeves and making a difference locally by helping YPIE students turn higher education success into economic opportunity.

With thanks,

Sam Wallis

Executive Director
