Donors and Community Support

YLA relies on the generosity of community donors and leaders to keep our registration fees minimal, offer financial assistance as needed, and support our programming.

We have opportunities for in-kind donations and financial contributions. You may contribute to our general fund, sponsor a meal, or provide other items for our participants. We look forward to your joining our contributors from past programs. For more information about donations and contributions, visit our contribution page.

Each year, we are grateful to those community organizations, businesses, and individuals who support our program and are pleased to share their support with you here.
