Youth Impact Partnership

The Youth Impact Partnership (YIP) is Bill Wilson Center’s youth advisory board. We conduct advocacy work and community outreach around issues facing homeless youth, and our members are paid for their participation. YIP provides a peer network of support and mentorship that empowers young adults to take their seats at the table and use their voices to make a difference for themselves and their communities. YIP members cultivate skills and relationships to pursue leadership roles on staff, advisory boards, and boards of directors.

YIP Mission Statement: We, the Youth Impact Partnership, will unite and champion efforts to support increasing and improving housing options and resources for youth. We pledge to advocate for ourselves and our youth peers to have sustainable access to housing for generations to come. Our vision is to create a more humane and equitable community.
