YNPN Chapters

Each YNPN chapter has grown organically in its respective community, with support and guidance from the YNPN National Board of Directors and founding San Francisco chapter. A volunteer advisory board, along with numerous committee members and program organizers, leads each YNPN chapter. While each chapter develops programming that responds to their community’s unique needs, most chapters offer:

• An e-mail list where members exchange information and referrals, learn about special events and workshops, post and receive job announcements, and share ideas on issues facing the sector
• A web site linking the nonprofit community to information and resources
• A wide range of career development workshops and panels for its members
• Peer mentoring and support groups
• Monthly networking social hours
• Advocacy events, surveys, and awards programs to connect the sector in general with early career professionals’ needs

Through programming and events, YNPN chapters serve as a vehicle for early career professionals to disseminate information throughout local nonprofit sectors and also to connect with like-minded professionals.
