Alumni Board 

Each year, a select number of current Young People For Alumni are asked to serve on the Young People For Alumni Board. Alumni are selected based on their level of engagement in the program, their leadership potential, and their activities in their communities.

Born out of the Steering Committee, the Alumni Board is a leadership development and capacity-building initiative that will provide alumni with an opportunity to enhance their leadership skills and contribute significantly to YP4.

The board consists of 12 diverse members from across the country and provides alumni with the opportunity to plan networking events, serve as YP4 trainers, participate in advanced leadership trainings, mentor current YP4 Fellows, and much more.  

The Alumni Board structure is designed to ensure that YP4 is accountable to our fellows and that the program remains fellow-driven.

The deep participation of Alumni in YP4 significantly strengthens the YP4 network and builds a strong sense of family and connectedness among YP4 staff, our progressive partners and YP4 fellows. Membership on the Alumni Board also helps to prepare fellows for leadership roles in the progressive movement.
