Come have fun with the students; share your experiences, your time, and impact a life for the better in three easy steps

  2. Volunteer Application:  Complete this form; be sure to follow all directions stating what's needed for submission. Once completed, reach out to our Community Outreach committee at ghypoc@gmail.com for further instructions! 
  3. School Contact Info:  This is a list of teachers along with their contact information, school affiliations, and their website links to confirm the academic calendars when scheduling your day (its no fun show up when students aren't there).  

Boardgames & Brunch

Every 3rd Saturday of the month, we gather at a local minority-owned business to enjoy their brunch menu, socialize, and play board games from 12pm-4pm. We do have a broad selection, but everyone is welcome to bring their favorite games and win prizes too!

Happy Hour

Join us every last Thursday of the month for drinks and happy hour specials as we catch up with fellow professionals in the area. Happy Hour runs 5pm-7pm. The food and space is legit, and we even have our own bartender! We can’t wait to hang out with you 

Community Events & More

YPOC not only hosts amazing events, but we also love to gather and support other programs in the area. Whether it's an informative seminar, concert, protest, or a mixer event, you might see us there.
