GO TELL YOUR DOG

Dear YWAPsters,

We hope your day is filled with lots of opportunities to smile!*:)) laughing

Tomorrow, March 1, 2013 is the day of YWAPping. You can support our young people by sharing your time, talents or treasures. For one day, the United Way has sponsored a Spring It On fundraiser. If you could help us that would be COOL BEANS!
"This is the window in our Youth Center.
 The other side of the window is a crawlspace
 where a Homeless Dude currently sleeps.
 We are doing our best to help in even though he won't talk to us.
Children are learning compassion."

Could you forward this email, tell your neighbor, post it at work or church or the post office. You could even tell your dog to spread the YWAPnews through the "Back yard Bark!"

Please Facebook it, Twitter it, Linken it AARP it - yes you can AARP about YWAP!

 Thanks for your time, you are changing the lives of children
in a positive way by who you are.

Summary of Mission and Activities:
  1. To encourage disadvantaged youth to lead purposeful lives by identifying their gifts and using them to participate productively in their communities;
  2. To provide disadvantaged youth with leadership activities which foster their knowledge and self-esteem, and empower them to make informed decisions about their lives; and
  3. To inform disadvantaged youth about issues such as conflict resolution, abstinence, nonviolence, anti-bullying, community activism, and entrepreneurship.
Our three main methods of accomplishing our mission are:
  • The After School/Community Outreach Program (Youth Center);
  • The High Adventure Wilderness Leadership Camps (Local camping trips and mountain climbing in the Adirondacks)
  • Mentor Force (team members go to WNY school classrooms and assist educators and students in building life skills)
"Find new ways, 
  in as many ways, 
    in more excellent ways, 
      on all of your days, 
        to show love."
