Beginning July 1, 2020, United Way of Greater Richmond & Petersburg will assume full responsibility for the day-to-day operations of the Richmond Youth Program Quality Intervention (YPQI) program. The Mary and Frances Youth Center will expand its role in providing training for youth development professionals in the Richmond region.

Richmond YPQI will continue to operate under the current partnership until June 30, 2020. Nothing will change during the remainder of the 2019-2020 cohort. United Way of Greater Richmond & Petersburg will share more information about the future of Richmond YPQI later in 2020.
