Four Ways To Support Us

As we approach our 2025 Annual Conference, we would like to remind Yokefellows and others who believe in our mission of ways to support YPM.  

  1. Scholarship assistance for returning citizens. Help us support returning citizens by awarding them with full or partial scholarship assistance to attend the Annual Conference.

  2. Books for Inmates. Help us distribute copies of Get Free and Stay Free books to inmates and returning citizens ($7/book).

  3. Meeting at the Door is a program in which volunteers meet newly-released returned citizens who don't have family members or friends to pick them up. YPM provides a meal, assists them with getting personal items and transports them to the facility/home where they will be staying.

  4. Support our Annual Conference. Consider making a gift to help offset expenses that may not be covered by registration revenue.

    TO DONATE TO YPM:

    Go to ypmpa.org/donate and select the specific fund you would like to support.

    Thank you!
