The following summary of recent and future YHTP activities was presented at the agency’s Board of Directors meeting, held August 13, 2019.

On May 2, You Have the Power was one of 145 community organizations receiving grants from the Nashville Predators Foundation. YHTP will use the funds awarded for incentive items for youth attending our bullying, sex trafficking, and sexual assault presentations, as well as our statewide Youth Impact Curriculum for at-risk youth.

You Have the Power is proud to participate in the sixth-annual The Big Payback annual giving day on Thursday, May 2.

On March 29, You Have the Power’s “Voices from the Garden” event commemorated the lives of Nashville children lost to violence in 2017-18, while also announcing plans for a revitalization of the Children’s Memory Garden of Nashville.

YHTP will honor world champion figure skater Scott Hamilton at its annual Powerhouse Awards lunch, set for 11 AM on Tuesday, April 23, at City Winery in Nashville.

Nominated by the Nashville Women’s Breakfast Club, Cathy Gurley serves as CEO of the non-profit You Have The Power.

Clemency for Cyntoia Brown has been a longtime goal of You Have the Power. We want to thank Governor Haslam for granting clemency to Cyntoia and the small army of people (including members of YHTP’s Board of Directors) who advocated and worked for this moment.
