YUPES, Young Urban Professionals of Easter Seals, is a group within Easter Seals that was formed to support the organization in accomplishing its mission, which is to provide exceptional services for people with disabilities and their families so they can live, work, learn and play in our community. This new and exciting organization gives Houstonians the opportunity to meet and socialize with other savvy young professionals, while helping raise awareness and resources for Easter Seals. Members will have the opportunity to attend quarterly social events and volunteer with the agency. Membership eligibility is based on willingness and ability to support and participate in YUPES activities. Net proceeds of all fundraising events directly benefit programs of Easter Seals.
