PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

A central part of YNPN Chicago's mission is to provide support and resources for young nonprofit professionals. In this regard, YNPN Chicago's professional development:
  • Provides educational opportunities for members to learn more about various policies and topics that affect their work.
  • Coordinates skill building seminars, panels, and other events that strengthens our members' abilities in their nonprofit career.
  • Serves as a resource for members seeking out advice and assistance for professional development needs.

The events that are currently offered through YNPN Chicago's Professional Development programs include seminars, panels and policy round table discussions. In the future, our plans also include a new mentorship program, book club meetings, a speakers bureau, and discounts for professional development opportunities offered by partner organizations.

For details and dates of upcoming professional development events, check out the YNPN calendar of events.

As we are member driven, we would also like to hear what kinds of topics you would like our Professional Development Co-Chairs to coordinate. Also, if you have ideas for speakers or would like to co-sponsor or host a session, please contact us at programming@ynpnchicago.org.
