Friends:
The attachment is an invitation to the initial reception for Young Professionals for Aspiring Youth, which is a new group that I'm helping organize. Aspiring Youth is an after school mentoring program for middle school kids. More information on Aspiring Youth is at www.aspiringyouth.org. The reception itself should be great. Its at the Devin Borden Hiram Butler Art Gallery, which is really fantastic. Hope you can be there. Please fell free to pass this on to whomever you think might be interested. Jim - YpayEvent4-17.doc Additional Information about YPAY: Aspiring Youth is a locally-founded 501©(3) nonprofit organization that operates innovative programs for at-risk youth, such as Aspiring Youth? After-School Programs, the Take A Student To your Employment (TASTE?) Program, College for a Day Program and the "Positive Youth Development" TV show. More than 500 students from nine Houston-area middle schools will participate during the 2000-2001 school year. For additional information, please see Aspiring Youth's website at www.aspiringyouth.org The goal of YPAY is to involve Houston's young professional community in these fabulous programs and demonstrate by word and deed what it takes to be successful in the professional world. Many of the children that attend Aspiring Youth's programs have never met or seen a doctor, lawyer, accountant, banker or engineer or have any conception of what it is like to work in professional atmosphere. Your participation in YPAY will provide these youth aspiring to such jobs with badly needed positive role models and better acquaint them for the challenges and effort required to achieve success in the professional world. In the process, you just might meet some interesting people and have a good time. A proposed mission statement is attached below. At present, we envision that YPAY will not only contribute volunteers to Aspiring Youth's programs, but also have periodic social events and establish a quarterly speakers series.
