YAPPERS

YAPPERS The YAPPERS consist of students from Dubuque Senior, Hempstead, and Wahlert High Schools that work to address the needs of youth in the Greater Dubuque area.

A youth-led program empowering local high school students in the Dubuque community through volunteerism, philanthropy, and grantmaking that creates real impact. Their energy and focus is directed to three major projects/areas: A local youth-needs assessment, a full grant-making cycle, and the Empty Bowls Project (a youth poverty awareness and fundraising campaign). The grants are issued to local non-profit organizations that conduct programs which serve Dubuque youth.

Today was a meaningful milestone for the Yappers! After 7 months of fundraising with local businesses, froyo shops, college athletic events, and generous donors, we raised $12,000 for four nonprofit organizations!

Today, we held our big check presentation, distributing funds to St. Mark Enrichment Center and Hills & Dales as part of that total.

As we celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Yappers, we’re grateful for the opportunity to give back and make a lasting impact in our community.
