It developed a plan to get sponsorships for events and activities, along with a YPN Brochure to inform the members of the Network's value, as well as produced a video to share on social media.

- For the 2021 YPN Care Day, the Network volunteered for Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corporation and assisted with a renovated home clean up.
- YCAR YPN collected toys for the Northeast Ohio Adoption Services at a bowling event.
- In June 2022, the Network volunteered for Habitat for Humanity for YPN Care Day. It also donated items to the auction for the Association’s annual Charity Golf outing in July 2022.
- In August, The Network volunteered to paint and cleanup for Heart Reach Neighborhood Ministries, the President’s Charity that YCAR is supporting in 2022.
- The Network will also be collecting items needed for Christmas for Heart Reach neighborhood ministries during its September and October YPN Events.
