Anyone can be a philanthropist, including Jedis, Kings, Sharks, Bears (is that a bear?), Penguins, and whatever it was that one YEP member dressed up as. Don't believe it? Here are YEP students volunteering at the Kishwaukee Family YMCA Trick-or-Treat Bash last week. YEP is about making friends for GOOD.

When you think of of YEP, you might think "grant checks". YEP, tho', is foremost a philanthropy education program. In October, YEP students learned by observing donors: 1. Theresa R. ( 2nd from R) of Genoa was our $100 Challenge donor. Joe D. of Sycamore HS (2nd from L) will share those funds with a project about which he's passionate. It's a stewardship exercise. We'll hear how it went, in November. 2. Students enjoyed apple c***r donuts donated by What a generous community--YEP is learning more of what it means to be a good neighbor because of you! Thank you!

YEP's kick-off was wonderful 🎉🎉! We loved seeing so many new and old faces. In case you missed it, YEP members designed their "philanthropy trucks", discussed meeting norms, and got ice cream 😋. Looking forward to our next meeting: October 12!!
