This week our groups will be starting the student choice projects they voted on a few weeks ago. Both schools chose the same options in landslide wins, which sure makes it easier for the advisors. We’ll start off this week with a tower building activity. Typically when we’re in the student choice part of the year for about three to five weeks before we move on to new activities. 

We also want to mention some small changes coming to YEP. To be honest, they might be small enough that you won’t even notice, which is part of why we want to mention them. 

Since YEP started seven years ago, we’ve been funded by a specific state grant. For 2026, we did not receive that funding. However, we managed to find a new source, which comes from the Wisconsin Department of Human Services Opioid settlement. 

We are still in the process of learning everything about what this new source of funding might mean for what YEP can or can’t do. For example, it might mean we need to cut back on some of our extra events, like our trips to Action City. As we learn more, we’ll be sure to pass that information on. 

One change that will be clear in our email and on our website will be links to the WI DHS opioid information page, and the Arbor Place substance screening tool, which you can find at the bottom of this page. 

If you have any questions about YEP, feel free to check in any time.
