From Volunteer San Diego...

"This month we would like to recognize Young Nonprofit Professionals Network (YNPN) San Diego Volunteers. YNPN San Diego promotes an efficient, viable, and inclusive nonprofit sector that supports the growth, learning, and development of young professionals. They engage and support future nonprofit and community leaders through professional development, networking and social opportunities designed for young people involved in the nonprofit community.

"YNPN volunteers are all nonprofit professionals who are either employed in or seeking employment in nonprofit organizations. Their volunteers are responsible for managing the "behind-the-scenes" activities of YNPN San Diego as well as their in-person networking and professional development programs. We are also in the middle of a visioning process, fundraising planning process, and communications planning process, as well as creating a board manual, which is a significant amount of work for a small group of amazing volunteers who are delegating and leading other volunteers from the same community."Recent News...
