YP2F’s First Impact Report

 In June 2024, the organization founded as Lens Co officially became Young People to the Front (YP2F). As our CEO Robin shares: "It felt like a risk. The spoiler alert is that we were always Young People to the Front at our core." The rebrand felt like a risk. Turns out, it was the best decision we ever made. We're thrilled to share our YP2F Wrapped: First Year Impact Report with you—because none of this would have been possible without your support, engagement, and belief in our mission.

Here is what we accomplished together in our first year.

  • 1 historic ballot measure passed 

  • 1,254 minutes podcasting 

  • 90% Instagram growth 

  • 100 hours of youth social media advocacy training 

  • 4,038 square miles of Los Angeles County covered for Youth Count

  • 25 presenters and panelists at the 1st ever Yp2F Research Conference

  • 111 research zines sold 

  • 500+ unique visitors to the Young People to the Front HQ

  • 3 key funding priorities for next year

  • 58 collaborating organizations

  • 7 full and part time staff, 10 contractors, and 2 pup-terns

Thank you for believing in our mission to make youth homelessness rare and brief.

With gratitude,
The YP2F Team
