Volunteer in 2010!

Thursday, December 10th, 2009

Logo_Census2010Census is upon us in 2010!  Looking for volunteers to get the word out.  Census will define who we are as a nation, affect political representation and direct the allocation of billions of dollars in goverment funding.  Starting in January, YAPA will be taking proactive measures to get the word out to support participation in filling out the Census in March 2010.   See the video under the Advocacy tab and also get more info at http://2010.census.gov

We are also looking for volunteers to help coordinate YAPA’s Annual Casino Night and Fundraiser to be held in May 2010 and YAPA Trivia Night Fundraiser benefiting Dillon                                                 International Adoption Agency in September 2010. 

If you are able to help out in any of the activities, please email info@yapastl.org.  Thank you!
