Youth in Need YPG
Youth In Need is a nonprofit child and family services agency that is dedicated to building positive futures for the community’s most vulnerable children, teens and families.Our mission is to build on the strengths of children, youth and families so they find safety, hope and success in life. This is seen through all programs, which include residential homes, foster care case management, homeless outreach, counseling and support groups, education and infant, child and family development to more than 9,000 children, teens and families at nearly 100 sites, spanning 100-miles, in six counties in eastern Missouri.
Youth in Need’s Young Professionals Group (YPG) is a group of ordinary people in their 20s, 30s and 40s joining together to achieve extraordinary things for children and families. Through networking, volunteering, advocacy, and fundraising events, this group is committed to making a positive impact on our community, especially for our most vulnerable residents. This includes two annual fundraising events, monthly volunteering opportunities, and much more.
The challenges Youth In Need’s children and families face cannot be solved by one person alone. But together, we have the potential to change lives.
