AGENCY INFORMATION (Be Very Brief and Concise) Please provide the following information about your agency (2 pages OR LESS): a) Years in Operation, Date of Incorporation (Month/Year): Received non-profit status 06/15/2016; Articles of incorporation 9/05/2015 b) Agency's Purpose/Mission (no more than a few sentences): YCP is dedicated to creating non-profit, youth-led and run (adult-supervised) spaces, programs and activities for all the high-school age youth of the community - including a safe, relaxed, lively intercultural center/cafe that can hold many diverse youth groups at a time. This will be a place where youth can gather for leisure and feel free to discover and nurture their artistic, advocacy, academic, and vocational interests and passions. We seek programming that can facilitate youth empowerment and promote youth investment in their social health and the health of the community. We work to encourage multicultural collaboration, strive for solidarity in diversity, and work towards good self-governance and monitoring —skills desired for future adult citizens. c) Types of Services the Agency Provides (bullet format): YCP, housed in Chapel Hill's Teen Center, has become • a stable foundation from which youth grow and develop their ideas and organizations; • a safe home where youth and their organizations lay out their issues, needs and desires, and then create proposals for community projects, singly or in collaboration; • a catalyst for youth engagement and leadership — a place for meetings, project launchings and coordination, outreach, publicity and logistics, and recruitment, within which youth and their organizations can share and develop common bonds, interests and resources that might otherwise be insufficient to achieve their aims; • a space for mutual support. Youth have been able to amplify important messages using power in numbers, bring up prevalent youth issues to our towns, and shape individual groups into a stronger network for youth to design, manage, and operate within. d) Agency's History with Providing These Services: In the past year YCP has managed to grow collaborate with over 10 youth-serving organizations with a growing need for more.
