HELP A NEWBIE
Do-It-Yourself Scholarships - Sponsor someone you know
The DYPC Conference committee does not provide scholarships for the conference. While the concept of providing this is appealing, it is impractical for the committee to be the deciders of who is truly in need, and could quite easily lead to unnecessary controversy. We encourage everyone to look at sponsorship at the personal level - many attendees will sponsor a newcomer each year in the hopes that it will help the individual's program. Sometimes paying for an entire slot is too much for one person to do, and several people will pool together funds to pay for a newcomer to attend. Any way that works for you is great - the point is that you should use your money to sponsor someone you actually know needs help. This keeps the sponsorship where it belongs - at the personal level, where the individual's need can be fairly assessed.
Helping Local Recovery House Residents - Throw some money at it!
Another way that you can help to carry the message with your $ is to help subsidize the cost of attendees who currently reside at recovery houses in the Philly area. Your contribution can help to provide discounted housing to these folks. DYPC has a long history of working with The Last Stop. By contributing something to this effort, you can help keep this relationship going and hopefully extend it to more houses in the greater Philly area. (NOTE: We do not provide any free spots in this manner, we only use money that we have available to try to reduce the cost for large groups coming from recovery houses. Our ability to reduce cost is very much figured out at the last minute, as it depends upon attendance, the number of people who contribute, etc. If you run a recovery house in the area, and are interested in this program, please contact us)
How can you help?
Pick a dollar amount below, $25 , $50, or $100. If you want to contribute more than that, you can increase the quantity in your cart while checking out (for instance, choose $25 then make it 10 items in your cart, and contribute $250)
