YPI - Youth and Philanthropy
Are you a high school student interested in completing your Youth and Philanthropy Initiative (YPI) project with Ernestine’s Women’s Shelter? That’s great and we’re here to help you!
Contact the Coordinator of Volunteer Services to set up a time for you and your group to come to the shelter for an information session and discuss your project. The Volunteer Program will support your project by giving you a tour of the shelter, providing you with information about Ernestine’s, question and answer session and more.
Ernestine’s actively supports the engagement of youth in our community and is always willing to provide information to youth who are interested in stopping violence against women and children and/or who want to learn more about our shelter.
51%
