The Young Nonprofit Professionals Network (YNPN) promotes an efficient, viable, and inclusive nonprofit sector that supports the growth, learning, and development of young professionals. We engage and support future nonprofit and community leaders through professional development, networking and social opportunities designed for young people involved in the nonprofit community.

Now with 10,000 members in over a dozen cities, and nearly 300 in San Diego, the Young Nonprofit Professionals Network (YNPN) is a powerful, organic vehicle for retaining and strengthening the nonprofit sector’s next generation of leaders—led by and directly responsive to the needs of early career nonprofit professionals. From its beginnings in 1997 as a small, informal gathering of peers in San Francisco, YNPN has grown to become one of the nation’s largest associations of nonprofit practitioners.
