We are Philanthropists!
Youth Engaged in Philanthropy (YEP) members benefit from multiple opportunities to build leadership, communication, social, and analytical skills. High school youth from all across DeKalb County join to learn more about philanthropy in their community. In May of each year, members distribute $14,000+ in YEP Grants to nonprofit and community organizations for various youth-serving programs and projects in DeKalb County.
YEP Leadership Opportunities
Since YEP is youth-led, we need members to lead each year. YEP offers a variety of leadership positions, including grant leaders, subcommittee leaders, and an Executive Committee team. Members interested in leadership are encouraged to check their membership application's "leadership opportunities" box. We highly value leadership and commit to providing ample opportunities for members!
