YSOP's youngest donor, Kaylie, age 8, inspires support for YSOP after Hurricane Sandy.

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.
