Perhaps the most important pillar of the WIPAN is its commitment to the promotion of public service and leadership in young people. Without this, WIPAN would be ultimately toothless in its aims - pomoting the sense of community amongst alumni and supporting the Program would seem quite hollow achievements, if very little were happening on this front.
For this reason, WIPAN activelty supports alumni ventures and initiatives, such as the Youth Empowerment Scheme (YES), YES International, the Horizons Expo, the What is Ireland event and the Forum on US/Ireland Relations and is constantly looking for realistic new avenues and ventures sharing this vision.
If you are an alumni member of WIPAN and thinking of setting up a public service venture and would like WIPAN to consider supporting your idea, please contact us at pacost@gmail.com
