The Benjamin Rose Young Professional Council (YPC) is a group of young leaders in the Greater Cleveland community who are passionate about the mission of The Benjamin Rose Institute on Aging which is to support caregivers and empower all people to age well. 

We promote this by encouraging philanthropy, networking, leadership opportunities, and engaging young professionals to develop programs and opportunities to support older adults and caregivers.
