Our Alumni.
Throughout YEPAW’s 30+ year history, we have had the opportunity to reach hundreds of youth from the Northeast Ohio area, states all across the U.S., and even Africa. Our alumni base truly spans across the globe, and we pride ourselves in all of the great accomplishments of each and every one of our students.
As YEPAW’s alumni base continues to expand with each passing year, we hope to provide a landing space for all to reminisce on their years in YEPAW while continuing to be connected and involved. Below you will find information about our annual “Alumni Experience”—just one of the ways we stay connected. Join us!
How YEPAW changed my life...
“YEPAW deposited treasures in me throughout my life that have significantly influenced my journey. It promoted the leader that was stirring on the inside of me. YEPAW taught me that the words ‘I can’t’ are simply a figment of my imagination. I am forever indebted to this incredible organization.”
—Gabrielle Hicks, M.Ed. | Ph.D. candidate at The Ohio State University
Former YEPAW participant, YEPAW 365 student, ELAB team member, and volunteer
“Not to sound cliche, but YEPAW has taught me so much about who I am in Christ as a young man. How to use the many gifts God has given me to edify His kingdom. I’ve been able to encourage other people, especially youth, to do the same. I’ve also made lifelong friends, who are more like family, that I’ve known for more than half my life! Growing up an only child, that means so much. YEPAW week has become my time to refuel, annually. I’ll return as long as I’m able. No matter where I go, I represent YEPAW to the fullest.”
