YNPN Boston was founded in 2007 as a local chapter of the YNPN National Network to provide support and resources for young professionals working in the Greater Boston nonprofit community. Since then, we’ve hosted and organized networking and professional development events to bring these individuals to each other and the opportunities in Boston, and we’re connected with over 9,000 users through the YNPN Boston Listserv, social media, and our events. 

In 2014, YNPN Boston received its official 501(c)(3) status. We are run by the all-volunteer YNPN Boston Leadership Team comprised of motivated and talented young professionals who serve as Board of Directors.

Our Mission goal is to develop a stronger, higher impact nonprofit community in Boston by engaging young talent and their organizations in professional development and human capital management practices.

Our vision is that one day, Boston’s nonprofit community (where individuals and organizations are working together) will have a continuous pipeline of diverse, highly engaged individuals who help to realize the sector’s full potential for impact.
