- We build social enterprise communities and networks — We have rapidly built out a network of local social enterprise communities with 14 SEA chapters in 12 states. Together with our national convening power, we help social enterprisers find, learn from and support each other.
- We tell the stories and aggregate the impact of social enterprise — We vigorously promote the amazing narratives of our members, accumulate the evidence of field impact, and are the voice of the sector in numerous collaborations and partnerships.
- We advocate and promote supportive public policy — We seek to create a public environment in which social enterprise can maximize its leverage. Our State and Local Policy Toolkit helps our chapters and local members build this ecosystem locally, while at a national level we work on issues including social innovation initiatives, social impact bonds, government procurement, SBA lending and technical support for social enterprise and federal workforce programs and policies.

9) YEP Immigrant Youth Art/Poetry

YEP Immigrant Youth Art/Poetry

The Youth Empowerment Program (“YEP”) invites you to the National
Immigrant Youth Art and Poetry Exhibit and Contest on:

Thursday April 26th from 7:00 – 9:00 pm at Pauley Ballroom (UC Berkeley).

YEP is a student volunteer organization that connects students from the
University of California to children held in federal detention because of
their immigration status. Specifically, YEP volunteers from UC Berkeley
work with children who are detained in Fairfield, CA. These children are
separated from their families and loved ones and face deportation alone.
YEP provides moral accompaniment and encouragement to these children
during this scary and uncertain time by connecting them to student role
models from UC Berkeley.

Although YEP’s primary goal is to provide hope to this vulnerable
population of children, in reality, it is the children who inspire us! We
hope to share their talents and stories with our community by giving them
a dignified forum for expression despite their detention.
