Young Nonprofit Professionals Network– St. Louis (YNPN)

YNPN envisions a St. Louis where young nonprofit professionals have the resources to:

• interact and network with each other
• develop and improve their skills through programs and services
• get access to professional resources

Club Red is a dynamic group of young people who support the American Red Cross mission to provide relief to victims of disaster and help people prevent, prepare for and respond to emergencies. Whether planning social fundraising events or engaging in a community service project, these Red Cross crusaders know how to have fun while supporting the humanitarian mission of the Red Cross.
