Drop Everything and Read with YPN and McClure Elementary School!
Through the Young Professionals Network’s participation in Greater Philadelphia Cares Day, YPN was able to establish a relationship with the students and staff of McClure Elementary School. In an effort to continue the growth of this relationship and support for the school’s initiatives, the Young Professionals Network held a book drive at December’s monthly networking event. Stemming from this book drive, YPN and McClure Elementary have created the Drop Everything and Read program. This is your opportunity to get involved!!! We are looking for over 25 volunteers to read to the students and interact with them in their classrooms. Join your fellow YPN members and influence the life of a child while instilling a lifelong love of reading.
YPN board joins forces with Young America PAC and Young Involved Philadelphia for Voice of Young Philadelphia: Discuss, Decide, Vote
Election Year 2007 is now upon us and it poses to be a pivotal one for the City of Philadelphia - especially for Young Professionals in the area. With the Mayor and City Council races already underway it is important to not only seek change with our respective votes, but to understand the issues facing the city so that we can help to make the changes necessary for Philadelphia's future. Whether a working professional or a student, we all have views and opinions on the direction the City is going.
