Our Young Professionals Network (YPN) is an engaged group of individuals aged 21 to 40 who support SOME as fundraisers, volunteers, advocates, and ambassadors. Since its inception, YPN has raised over $3 million to assist our DC neighbors in finding paths out of poverty. Its members participate in a myriad of activities, including special events, professional development programs, days of service, and volunteer initiatives. We are now gearing up for our first event of the season this May, learn more using the link below!
