The Young Americans and The Young Americans College of the Performing Arts has a diverse and dynamic student body and it is our mission to ensure all students and members feel safe and comfortable within the organization. As such, The Young Americans and The Young Americans College of the Performing Arts define gender as the gender with which the individual student/member self-identifies.

GENDER-NEUTRAL HOUSING
YACPA offers a gender-neutral housing option. Gender-neutral housing provides a living environment that is not restricted to traditional limitations imposed by gender and/or sex definitions. This option is ideal for students whose gender expression, gender identity, and/or biological sex varies from the standard paradigm and for students who believe that their gender and/or biological sex should not be limiting factors in roommate decisions. All students will have the option to participate in, or opt out of, gender-neutral housing simply by indicating your preferences below.

Please note that mixed gender apartments (both male and female in the same apartment) are only available through the gender-neutral housing option.
