Volunteers do not necessarily have the time; they just have the heart – Elizabeth Andrew
Today YPS has become number-one Photography Club in India not just because we have many successful photographers but also because of the various activities happening every week to make every member successful. Be it a salon or the journal or the webinars or the social-media presence, there are volunteers behind the success of each of these. Their passion, commitment, time and unique skills continue to power these activities to unparalleled levels of excellence.
