The YPC is actively recruiting new members. Prospective members must be referred by an existing member.
If you don't know anyone in the group, send an e-mail and introduce yourself. In an effort to reflect the diversity of the community, the YPC is especially interested in adding members who are women and/or people of color.
Here are answers to commonly asked questions about membership:
What are the eligibility requirements?
YPC members are under the age of 40, passionate about the group’s mission, and excited to contribute their skills and resources to make the group’s initiatives a success.
What kind of commitment would I be making?
The YPC gathers monthly in addition to individual committee meetings, depending on what activities/events we're developing. We'll ask you to contribute your talent in a particular field, your contacts, your ideas and creativity, your experience and anything else you have that can help further our important work in the community. We're also asking each YPC member to become a Center member at the $500/year level (or higher) and to commit to raising $1,000. Raising $1,000 might sound like a lot, but the YPC empowers our members' fundraising efforts using online tools, personal web pages, event support, etc., that make these initiatives painless. |
What are the benefits of membership?
Aside from the obvious reward of doing something significant to help your community, as a member of the YPC you'll play an integral role in the success and future of the Center and the demographic we seek to support.
You'll get to meet new people and expand your social and professional network, attend fabulous events (some of which you'll help plan), involve more young people in the Center's work, and be a role model for other young people. (YPC members will be listed in the Center's annual report, website and other promotional material and featured in the Center newsletter.)
YPC Advocates
Unsure of the commitment of membership? The YPC Advocates Program might be right for you.
The YPC Advocates Program is a great way for you to get actively involved in the Center and the YPC. We are looking for motivated individuals, under 40, who are interested in helping the YPC with our outreach and promotion including our hosted events, fundraising, and volunteer opportunities.
As a YPC Advocate, you’ll receive advance notification of all YPC/Center events as well as special promotions and discounts. All it takes is a minimum $35 Center membership, which entitles you to a host of benefits and discounts. |
