YCore is a new model of millennial volunteering which empowers passionate young people to affect social change in their local communities.
Our mission is to create a network of engaged young philanthropists.
The Problem
Many young people volunteer in high school and college but stop doing so when they start their careers. The pressure of balancing work life and social life makes it hard to give back in a meaningful way. YCore is changing this!
Our Solution
YCore is a philanthropy program created for millennials, by millennials. Our program makes it engaging and rewarding for Millennials to give back in a way that creates real change in their local communities
YCore brings together amazing young people with a wide-range of skills and interests to design products and services in partnership with local nonprofits. Alongside our nonprofit work, YCore members gain access to a network of experienced social activists who help them to develop the skills and knowledge needed to be effective philanthropists.
The YCore Program
YCore is a six-month program beginning in January. Fellows commit 3 hrs/week to YCore in the form of a monthly fellows workshop, weekly team phone calls and individual project work. YCore hosts voluntary socials throughout the year to create a close-knit community among fellows.
Our program is based on four core competencies that ensure every experience is engaging for our members and highly impactful for our partner nonprofits.
Real Impact
We maximize the impact of our projects by matching skill sets with opportunities and measuring our performance.
Skill Development
Our structured curriculum leverages experts and hands-on experience to create learning opportunities.
Accessible
We know young professionals have limited time and value efficiency, so our program is created to complement a busy work schedule.
Social Network
Through our social events and alumni network, we are creating a community of like-minded peers that support and challenge each other to give back.
