Author: Kennice, Spring 2021 YSEP Member (Junior) I absolutely loved YSEP! In the program, we went in depth about what homelessness actually is and how it can look different. I enjoyed learning how advocacy works and new ways to advocate for ourselves and others. Additionally, we listened to presentations on trauma training and even learned about how the government spends its budget. My favorite part of YSEP would have to be the service project though! For my project, I collected over different 50 hygiene items for Housing Families! I was able to advertise on social media and personally to spread the word. In doing so, I was able to explain to people what Housing Families was and how each donation would help! Because of YSEP, I am also now tutoring kids in GYFP! I have really enjoyed meeting new peers and working with Allison and Raeann during YSEP and I can't wait to continue volunteering at HFI! I would definitely recommend this to a friend or anyone interested in helping others!
