About Young Leadership Council

<p>Young Leadership Council (YLC) is a nonprofit, nonpartisan civic organization created to develop leadership through community projects. </p><p>Our vision is to be the platform for young professionals to build strong communities and create social change.</p><p>Through volunteer-led community projects, YLC recruits and retains young professionals to New Orleans and has a positive impact on the quality of life in the region. The oldest independent YPO (young professionals’ organization) in the country, YLC has raised more than $25 million to support community projects in and around the New Orleans area since 1986. </p><p>YLC has more than 500 members and is led by a 24-member board of directors and two staff members. Each community initiative is led by one or more volunteer project leaders.</p><p>In the spring of 1986, a handful of young New Orleanians came together to tackle problems facing the community. They were a few years out of college and didn’t think existing civic organizations would afford them opportunities for hands-on involvement. So, they formed their own organization and called it the Young Leadership Council. Their unique and primary focus was leadership development through community projects. </p><p>The YLC lives on more than 35 years later in the same tradition with over 500 members and numerous community projects.</p><p> </p><p> </p>
