Board of Directors Overview

OUR MISSION

YPCommunities bridges people to communities and resources by providing inclusive experiences that connect, educate and empower.
 

​

EQUITY STATEMENT

YPCommunities promotes a culture free from bias, discrimination, oppression, and injustice. We are dedicated to removing institutional and system barriers that result in oppression, racism, and discrimination. 

 

​

ABOUT YPCOMMUNITIES

YPCommunities, the largest young professional network in the US, bridges the gap between people, resources, and their respective communities.  We do this by applying a simple philosophy to the way we mobilize and engage with members of the community: be inclusive, be intentional, and be responsive.  

 

YPCommunities is comprised of three divisions, YPOx, ProDev, and YP Impact; each with a data-driven focus on the most relevant needs that connect people, resources and their communities. 

 

What started as a locally held, independently managed event series, has evolved into a 501(c)3 platform responsible for facilitating personal connection, professional growth and social impact while building and connecting communities across the country.
