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 the community where they live. In May of each year, YEP distributes $13,000+ in grants to nonprofit and community organizations for a variety of 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, group leaders, and an Executive Committee. Members interested in leadership are encouraged to check the "leadership opportunities" box on their membership application. We value leadership and provide many opportunities for members to take part in it.
