What are YPC members saying about this program?
"My favorite part about the YPC is being able to give back to our schools and community."
"The biggest takeaway that I experienced from YPC is anybody can be philanthropic and give back to the community, no matter how old you are."
"I loved this group! It allowed me to get out of my comfort zone and flourish. So speaking from experience, I know it will only be beneficial to them so I would recommend this group to my peers."

We had the pleasure of welcoming Greg Kapp, Vice President of Development at Purdue for Life Foundation, to our Youth Philanthropy Council meeting this month! Greg shared insights about how philanthropy can continue to grow during college and even lead to a fulfilling career. We are so grateful for Greg’s time and for pouring into our young leaders, inspiring them to carry the spirit of giving into the future.

We are proud to announce that our amazing YPC group came together and donated toys and supplies to the White County Boys and Girls Club. Their donations were sent to the new North White Boys and Girls Club, which helped this club's mission to send each member home with a gift. Great job team!
