YNPNdc’s commitment to diversity and inclusion is founded on our belief that a healthy, viable and inclusive nonprofit sector must reflect the richness of the communities it serves. We recognize the nonprofit workforce in the Metro DC region does not currently reflect the diversity of the community, and believe that greater access to professional development and networking can promote increased participation, retention, and career opportunities among groups that are currently under-represented within the nonprofit sector.
As a key resource for professional development and networking for young nonprofit professionals in the region, YNPNdc and our members are committed to fostering a more diverse and inclusive nonprofit workforce by:
- Actively engaging young nonprofit professionals from diverse backgrounds as YNPNdc members, event partners, speakers and organization leaders.
- Fostering the retention and career advancement of young nonprofit professionals from all backgrounds through responsive professional development programming.
- Enhancing the capacity of all nonprofit professionals to contribute to inclusive workplaces through professional development opportunities specifically focused on inclusion skill-building.
- Encouraging our members to build professional networks that reflect the cultural and professional diversity of our community.
