Welcoming Growth, Renewal & Collaboration

Hello YPR,

This year we’re placing an even greater focus on highlighting the impact happening across our chapters and communities. Every event you host, partnership you build, and recovery support effort you lead is helping create stronger, recovery-ready communities across the country. Sharing those stories helps more people see the hope, connection, and leadership that define the YPR network.

To support this effort, we’re excited to welcome two new members to the national team. I’d like to introduce you to Sam and David, who will be helping us capture and share the powerful stories and impact of our chapters.

In the coming months, Sam and David will also be reaching out to Chapter Leads as we launch new storytelling and media initiatives. These efforts are designed to celebrate the incredible work happening across the YPR network and help bring even more visibility to the difference you are making in communities every day.

Meet Sam Tichenor – Marketing & Social Media Coordinator
