WHY DONATE
YSOP is committed to helping young people become part of the
solution to societal problems by showing them how even their
smallest actions can make a difference in the lives of others.
Our students' participation is an
integral part in providing valuable services to hungry and
homeless people in New York City and Washington, DC.
Because program fees cover only half of the cost of our
programming, YSOP depends on the generosity of individual donors
to further our mission of promoting volunteerism among young
people.
Your generosity will mean a lot to our
young volunteers and the thousands of people they serve.
Your tax-deductible gift will mean we can continue to
offer high quality service learning experiences to a
broad range of young people.
WHAT YOUR DONATIONS DO
Your donation now can make it possible for more young people to
experience YSOP in the coming year.
Here’s how your gift helps:
A gift of $100 is enough to provide a scholarship for one
teenager to attend a YSOP program where he or she can serve in a
soup kitchen, food bank or drop-in center and serve hundreds of
people in one weekend.
A gift of
$135
is enough to
enable college students on our Alternative Break Service
Weeks to provide recreation programs for homeless
children in family shelters.
A gift of $250 provides
transportation for YSOP guests who reside in
neighborhood shelters to attend a Service Dinner with
YSOP student volunteers. For the evening, our student
volunteers provide a warm, and inviting community meal.
Dinner guests are able to relax for the evening while
enjoying a healthy meal and conversation with YSOP
student volunteers.
