Volunteer Leadership Opportunities
for Young Professionals
The Young Professionals Committee (YPC) is a group of early- to mid-career professionals, college and graduate students, and GK Alumni who promote and support the mission of Global Kids. YPC Members are an extension of the Global Kids family who, in addition to providing guidance and mentoring opportunities to GK Leaders, raise awareness about GK and mobilize resources in support of its work.
For more information on volunteering or further inquiries about YPC membership, please contact Erin Mitchell, Individual Engagement Manager, at erin.mitchell@globalkids.org.
