Hello, Wesley!
Actually, I communicated on the YPN issue with Esri, but their answer was my role in the organization should be 'field worker' or 'survey owner'. I tried to change my role as those roles in my personal account, but I could not do it since I am the only administrator in my personal account.
During the time I had waited their reply on the issue, I was able to join the YPN via the LinkedIn group. I would recommend you to join the YPN via the LinkedIn group with the following link. You might be able to get a reply from the group within 5 days.
