“We cannot seek achievement for ourselves and forget about progress and prosperity for our community... Our ambitions must be broad enough to include the aspirations and needs of others, for their sakes and for our own.” -Cesar Chavez
The Young Peoples’ Project has become like a family to me. The people within the organization have guided my academic and social learning through out my time at YPP.
Through YPP I have been able to develop my facilitation and people skills. I am able to connect with people on a personal level.
The work that is being accomplished at YPP is extremely important to the educational development of young people. YPP is a continuation of the Civil Rights Movement and it continues to create a demand for an equal education amongst young people.
