Dear Changemaker,

Thank you for connecting young people facing life’s most complex challenges with tangible resources and guidance that put their lives on a hopeful trajectory. With your strength-based support, individuals and families are making productive choices, improving their wellbeing, and making their neighborhoods safer. You’re supporting a model guided by compassionate staff who are trained to partner with and empower system-involved youth and others in trouble and crisis and their families with tools to turn their lives around. Program participants and their parents and guardians are receiving individualized accountability, rehabilitation, and other services addressing their economic, educational and emotional needs.Supported by your gifts, communities are demonstrating that this unique half-century old evidence-based wraparound services approach is a far more effective short and long-term investment than incarceration and residential care.

Your assistance strengthens our signature programs: Youth and Family Empowerment, Bringing Systems Change, Global Capacity Building, and Investing in Economic Mobility. You will meet some of the beneficiaries of your partnership in our just released Youth Advocate Programs (YAP), Inc. FY 2025 Impact Report, now available digitally. Accomplishments of the young people and families whose stories are celebrated in the report are your successes, too. As such, please share the report with your networks as your generosity continues to make a difference in 2026 and beyond. If you would like printed copies, please order them at giving@yapinc.org when you make your next donation.

With gratitude for all you do to make our communities stronger and safer,

Gary Ivory

President and CEO
