What if the charity is difficult to get a hold of or does not respond to student inquiries?
If charities are slow in responding to students or do not respond at all, the YPI students involved should let their teacher know that they are having difficulty making contact. With the support of their teachers, students can decide if it is best to pursue another charity. One of the goals of YPI is to connect students with a community-based charity and that includes a site visit. Students are discouraged from choosing charities that will not allow site visits.
