Impact Programs

Community Service

We host regular volunteer opportunities for our members to become active parts of our community, dedicate our time and talents, and assist our partner nonprofits throughout the year. Traditionally called "Service Saturday", you'll often find our team doing beach or Adopt-a-Spot cleanups, making a meal for Ronald McDonald House, or sorting food at Feeding the Gulf Coast.

In 2022, PYP adopted Dunwoody Park as our "Adopt-a-Spot" park with Keep Pensacola Beautiful. Every quarter, PYP members visit the park, clean up any trash, and build new relationships.

Government Affairs

Our Government Affairs programs are designed to educate our membership on policy issues at the local, state and federal level and to provide our members with opportunities to engage with public officials and community leaders.

Quality of Life

Quality of Life Survey is an independent survey tool that was developed by Mason-Dixon to study communities around the country and evaluate the categories and characteristics that people perceive as having the most impact on the quality of life.

Cause Support

We regularly poll our members on the latest issues that effect the quality of life of our community and make a public stance in support or against.

Candidate Support

While we’ll support causes, we have a strict political policy ensuring that the organization does not endorse any specific candidate or political party.
