YPC Mission
Engage young professionals in the New York City area to support Youth, I.N.C. and their network of partner nonprofits with the goal of developing into future nonprofit board members.
YPC Objectives
1. Raise awareness and support for Youth, I.N.C. and its partner nonprofits through annual fundraising events
2. Learn about nonprofit board service by engaging in training, shadowing, and mentoring opportunities with Youth, I.N.C. Board and Staff members
3. Volunteer with Youth, I.N.C.’s partner nonprofits
Being a member of the Young Professionals Committee has proven to be an invaluable experience; one that has allowed me to have a direct impact on Youth, I.N.C. and its nonprofit partners.
