Young Nonprofit Professionals Network (YNPN) of Chicago

Why is YNPN Chicago needed?

There are not enough opportunities for young nonprofit professionals in Chicago to interact, share best practices, or receive sufficient social and professional support. As a result, nonprofit workers become burnt out, and nonprofits lose gifted future leaders. YNPN Chicago was established to fill that void. Through trainings, meetings, and social gatherings, young professionals will be given a chance to make connections with each other, discuss issues that impact them, and help create a stronger Chicago nonprofit community.
