Young Professionals Committee

The HFY Young Professionals Committee (YPC) is a group of professionals who leverage their passion for volunteerism and philanthropy to act as ambassadors of HFY’s mission.  Members of the committee become long-term resources and use their personal and professional networks to fundraise, advocate and volunteer in support of HFY’s vital services.

The YPC was founded in 2018 with the mission of raising awareness and increasing support for HFY through networking events, volunteer opportunities, social media outreach and fundraising efforts.  Members are enthusiastic, creative, and philanthropic young professionals in their 20’s and 30’s.

Each prospective member will bring their talent to the Committee and we welcome candidates who have a passion and commitment for HFY’s mission. Through their work, members will enhance their leadership skills that enable them to advance their careers and become appreciating assets to HFY.
