Partners in Possibility
Join a proven, peer-led recovery movement helping young people build stable, purposeful lives, and put your company's purpose into measurable, human action.
Recovery Takes Courage. Long-Term Recovery Takes Community.
Young people in recovery are not defined by their past. They are building futures rooted in health, purpose, and leadership, and they are part of your workforce, your customers, and your communities.
But long-term recovery takes more than courage. It takes connection, stability, and opportunity. Too many young people are trying to build a life in recovery without enough community around them.
Closing that gap is exactly where Young People in Recovery does its most important work, and where your company can make a visible, lasting difference.
“Recovery is possible — but young people should not have to pursue it alone.”
We Don't Just Serve Young People. We Organize Them.
Most organizations treat young people as problems to be fixed. YPR treats them as leaders, advocates, and living proof that recovery works. Our unique mechanism is peer-led recovery community.
We Connect
Peer-led chapters give young people a place to belong, all-recovery meetings, sober socials, and community where isolation used to be.
We Develop
EPIC life-skills programming, from financial wellness to leadership, builds the stability that sustains long-term recovery.
We Empower
YPR gives young people a voice as advocates and chapter leads, visible proof that recovery leads to a full, meaningful life.
We Sustain
Harm reduction and ongoing support keep young people alive and connected long enough to build the future they are working toward.
In 2025, YPR's peer-led network reached 55 communities across 11 states through 43 active chapters and 17 program sites, a national footprint that reaches the markets where your employees and customers live, including specialized communities for veterans and LGBTQ+ individuals.
Good for Young People. Good for Business.
Today's strongest brands invest where purpose meets performance. Partnering with YPR delivers measurable community impact and tangible value for your company.
Attract & Keep Talent
Gen Z and millennial employees choose purpose-driven employers. An authentic cause partnership strengthens recruitment, retention, and culture.
Build Brand & Loyalty
Purpose-driven customers reward companies that show up on real issues. YPR is a brand-safe, deeply human cause with national reach.
Power Your ESG Story
Measurable outcomes from an independently audited partner, reported back to you for stakeholder, ESG, and sustainability communications.
Support Your Workforce
Substance use and mental health affect every workforce and family. Partnering signals you care and helps build a recovery-friendly culture.
Built to Fit Your Giving Strategy
YPR's work maps directly to the corporate-giving pillars that leading companies fund today, so partnering with us advances goals you've already set.
EPIC life-skills programming, including financial wellness, goal-setting, and recovery capital, helps young people build stability, education, and second chances.
Recovery support and harm reduction strengthen the mental health and resilience of young people, families, and the communities and workforces they're part of.
Specialized communities for veterans, LGBTQ+ individuals, and Spanish-speaking populations extend recovery to young people too often left out.
Peer-led chapters nationwide strengthen the very places your employees and customers call home.
Trusted by Leaders in Health, Recovery & Tech
YPR's partners and funders span healthcare, recovery, technology, and the nation's most respected foundations, a roster that reflects rigorous due diligence and real impact. We're now expanding to consumer and enterprise brands ready to lead.
