The Young Philatelic Leadership Fellowship is celebrating its sixth year, having successfully recruited promising young philatelists from all parts of the U.S. to showcase our hobby. Today, I received a request from APS to share information regarding the YPLF with our Chapter membership in an effort to help identify future candidates and encourage them to submit their applications. The Young Philatelic Leaders Fellowship provides enriching and dynamic experiences in the philatelic world for Junior (ages 13 - 17) and Senior (ages 18 - 25) Fellows. Junior and Senior Fellows pursue one of three tracks: dealer, exhibitor or author (tracks are selected after the orientation at the APS StampShow in August). Fellowship activities include: - Attend the summer American Philatelic Society StampShow.
- Meet with other Fellows at the Show and make philatelic friends.
- Learn about the three Tracks from which they will choose to focus their year’s activities: Dealer, Presenter, Author.
- Shadow dealers, exhibitors, and authors in the philatelic world.
- Receive advice from an adult mentor who has experience in their chosen Track.
- Complete research of their chosen topic.
- Visit the National Postal Museum in Washington, D.C.
- Visit the American Philatelic Society headquarters in Bellefonte, PA.
- Present their research to stamp clubs and groups in their home area.
- Attend the winter APS AmeriStamp Expo.
- Finish their year at the next summer’s APS StampShow.
If you know of someone between the ages of 13 and 25 that would make a good Fellow, recommend them by submitting their name on this online form. You may also pass along information about YPLF to young collectors and their families using the YPLF brochure and application forms. Your encouragement may be the catalyst for them to apply. The deadline for applying for the incoming class of YPLF Fellows is April 30, 2015. YPLF also needs money and philatelic materials to continue to grow -- the many ways to support youth participating in YPLF are outlined here. |

YPL Fellow Dani Leviss Interviewed by Lloyd de Vries
 Young Philatelic Leaders Fellow Dani Leviss was recently interviewed by Lloyd de Vries for The Virtual Stamp Club. The interview can be heard on The Virtual Stamp Club interviews page. The Young Philatelic Leaders Fellowship program was founded by the American Philatelic Society in 2009 to identify and support the best and brightest aspiring philatelists. The program coordinates and funds transportation to, lodging during, and activities at: APS national shows, Smithsonian National Postal Museum, and the American Philatelic Center for enthusiastic young collectors between the ages of 16 and 24. Additionally, YPLF connects participating Fellows with seasoned collectors, exhibitors, writers, and dealers to expand their perspectives and exposure in the philatelic world.
