History

Founded as the Junior Committee in December 1996, Partnership with Children's Young Professionals Committee is composed of individuals who are committed to supporting our mission to strengthen the emotional, social and cognitive skills of at-risk children so that they can succeed in school, in society and in their lives. The Young Professionals Committee strives to raise awareness of the organization's programming and to contribute funds by calling upon their professional skills and knowledge.

Over the years the Young Professionals Committee has raised funds for Partnership with Children through unique events that contribute to the organization's programs financially while creating opportunities for personal outreach in a social setting. The committee's work gives young professionals the opportunity to develop leadership skills in a philanthropic environment and to use their talents and contacts to strengthen the organization while they network and acquire new business and personal contacts.
