OUR MISSION
The mission of YNPN KC is to promote the interests of and build opportunities for tomorrow's
nonprofit leaders. 

Our aim is to develop and nurture entry- to mid- level nonprofit professionals by providing:

(1) forums for networking;
(2) professional growth education activities; and
(3) a one-stop resource for information on professional advancement and the Kansas City non-profit
community.

YNPN KC promotes the recruitment, development, and retention of young professionals in the
nonprofit sector to enhance and support a strong, dynamic nonprofit community. YNPN offers young
and emerging nonprofit leaders the assistance they need as individuals and as a group to realize
their full potential.

HISTORY & OVERVIEW
Formed in the likeness of the national organization, which started its first chapter in San
Francisco in July 1997 as a project of CompassPoint Nonprofit Services, YNPN KC aims to provide a
vibrant peer community for Kansas City's young nonprofit professionals. Though YNPN KC welcomes
people of all ages, most of our members are in their 20's and 30's or are transitioning into the
nonprofit sector.
