Yonkers Insider: YPIE Student Voices on Coronavirus and Race in The Journal News.

Amplifying Our Students' Voices “Change isn’t something that we should hope for. Change is something that we should expect.” --Natalie “Generation Z has the absolute power to change the world.” --Darius Dear YPIE Family, We are deeply proud to share our students’ voices in this recent article in The Journal News. Hear the inspiring insights and wisdom about two pandemics -- the coronavirus and racial inequality -- from many young people in Yonkers, including our YPIE Scholars Darius, Keon, Klanell, Jordan, Natalie, Sofia, and Yamilka.  We have been inspired this summer by students' hard work to press for change, to continue on the path to college, and to prepare for a school year like no other. YPIE students give us hope for a brighter future. Stay healthy and keep moving forward. Samuel Wallis Executive Director, YPIE
