YEP creates a unique volunteering opportunity for students throughout Vancouver and the Lower Mainland. Our Student Leaders (or SLs) get the opportunity to be part of the YEP team by helping us grow while we help them grow as leaders with the potential to change the world. The SLs learn the importance of unifying youth efforts and aid, while ending poverty. They attend our monthly meetings and in many cases help host and organize our events, fundraisers and drives! In addition to this, they also lend a hand in scouting for other youth initiatives to join our network and mentorship program, and in many cases, have their own. As a SL, their opinion is always integrated into everything we do… in fact; you’d be surprised to know that our name “YEP” was thought up by a SL! If you’re interested in joining the YEP and becoming a SL, please contact us. We wouldn’t be anything without them!
