Young Professional Council

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 Benjamin Rose, which is to support the aging journeys of adults and those who care for them.
We promote this by encouraging philanthropy, networking, leadership opportunities, and engaging young professionals to develop programs and opportunities to support older adults and caregivers.
Find Your Role
YPC members can get involved in ways that match their interests and strengths. Through Programming, Fundraising, Marketing and Governance committees, members help plan engaging events, support fundraising efforts, build awareness of Benjamin Rose and help shape the future of the Council.
Get a Taste of Board Service
The YPC offers valuable exposure to the responsibilities and experiences that come with serving on a nonprofit board. Members can develop a better understanding of how boards work while building experience that can prepare them for future board service.
When We Meet
The YPC meets every other month, with committee meetings held on the alternating months.
Connect With Your Community
Being part of the YPC is about more than attending meetings. Members have opportunities to attend and organize events, network with other young professional groups across Greater Cleveland, support initiatives like Bingo Night and the annual Day of Giving and build relationships that extend beyond the Council.
