Yes! Many people join YCore because they are new to the Bay Area and looking for community.

YCore fellows are typically spread across San Francisco, South Bay and the Peninsula but we also get applicants from the East Bay as well.

YCore is a flexible in person program with a zoom option. We believe that community building is magical when done in person, but we also want to provide the option for those who prefer zoom.

We do have a written covid policy that all fellows are asked to sign. Our policy is aligned with the CDC guidelines. This is to ensure the safety of everyone in the program.

We want YCore to be a space for lifelong community-building. That’s why we have several opportunities for our alums to stay engaged. If you want to learn more, head over to our Get Involved -> Alums page.

Absolutely! In your application, we have a section where you can specify if you have friends applying who you want to work with.

We would like to expand across the U.S eventually when we have the financial resources to do so. If you would like to help us get there, head on over to our donation page to find out how.
