Empowering Futures: Reflecting on YCAP's Transformative Events

April 2024: YCAP RETREAT:
YCAP students were led with their Program Manager LT and Founder Kate, as they ventured to a welcoming house to foster connections and meaningful interactions. It was an inspiring opportunity for our students to engage in personal growth and build valuable relationships in a supportive environment.

February 2024:

Governors State University Visit

Y-CAP program manager, LT, visits Y-CAP participants Kyla and Kayla at Governors State University, for Valentines Day! We wanted to celebrate the ladies hard work in their university classes and Y-CAP with some Galentines Day goodies.

Jan 2023: Holiday Paint Party at UIUC

This past January, students at Y-CAP partnered with The Village Project at UIUC to host a Holiday Paint Party.

In a heartfelt initiative, Dr. Sharva Hampton-Campbell launched The Village Project at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, which has expanded to Governors State University, offering crucial support to students who have experienced foster care. The program focuses on creating a nurturing environment to enhance learning equity for students. Students are encouraged to attend monthly dinners, generously funded by an alumnus of the School, and monthly peer-led meetings.
