Young Professionals Council
Join Our YPC and help support our work for increased justice.
In 2008, Georgia Appleseed launched its Young Professionals Council (YPC) to engage young professionals in our systemic social justice work. The YPC offers its volunteers opportunities to develop their careers, exercise leadership, and expand their professional networks. The President of the YPC serves as a member of the Georgia Appleseed Board of Directors in an Ex-Officio capacity. To learn more about the YPC and ways to get involved, please contact Outreach Chair Ebony Mobley.
