Letter From the Site Director
Welcome to the Year Up Rhode Island Commencement Ceremony!
Dear Year Up Friends & Family,
Congratulations to our Winter 2022 graduating class from Year Up Rhode Island! We are thrilled to welcome you to the alumni family and look forward to celebrating in person with you in the years to come. As you move into your next steps, know that Year Up and all of our supporters are only a phone call or Zoom away. We remain in this together.
Thank you to the class of Winter 2022 for being partners with us on this journey, for your continued feedback, and for your endless hard work to get to where we are today, your graduation! All of us at Year Up are in awe of your flexibility, heart, and perseverance in the face of such difficult challenges this year. We know that there are new job opportunities for you on the horizon.
Thank you to our community of supporters, board and Leadership Council members, corporate partners, donors, and volunteers. We so appreciate your partnership with us to provide access to opportunity and meaningful careers for Opportunity Talent, truly one of the cornerstones of improving equality in our country. All young adults deserve access to opportunity and economic justice and we are more committed than ever to take action against injustice and racism. At a time where employment and educational opportunities are more limited than ever, together, we are moving closer to our vision of economic justice for all.
Courage,
George Nippo
Site Director, Year Up Rhode Island

A medida que avanzan en sus próximos pasos, sepan que Year Up y todos nuestros seguidores están a solo una llamada telefónica de distancia. Seguimos juntos en esto.

Gracias a nuestra comunidad de apoyantes, miembros de la junta y del Consejo de Liderazgo, socios corporativos, donantes y voluntarios. Apreciamos mucho su asociación con nosotros para brindar acceso a oportunidades y carreras significativas para adultos jovenes, verdaderamente uno de los pilares para mejorar la igualdad en nuestro país. Todos los adultos jóvenes merecen acceso a oportunidades y justicia económica y estamos más comprometidos que nunca a tomar medidas contra la injusticia y el racismo. En un momento en que las oportunidades de empleo y educación son más limitadas que nunca, juntos nos estamos acercando a nuestra visión de justicia económica para todos.
Con ánimo,
