Alex Orban and Katie Hush, YPB Co-Presidents


The Young Professionals Board launched in 2003 as a collective of young people engaging with their community for its betterment.  The committee supports Urban Pathways by providing invaluable fundraising, marketing and other technical assistance, as well as through various special events and volunteer activities, while promoting and advocating on behalf of the agency.

Members have the opportunity to build leadership skills while firming a command of homeless issues and the challenges facing non-profit social service agencies in New York City.  Realizing that many people simply do not know what they can do to help, the YPB actively responds to the pervasive nature of homelessness through community outreach.  The group continues to evolve as members encourage their friends and colleagues to take part in meetings, activities and events.  In the past year the group "adopted" the Travelers Hotel and has focused its fundraising and volunteer activities on this transitional residence.   Every few months The YPB incorporates a night of dinner and entertainment at the Travelers Hotel as part of their group activities, where clients and volunteers share meaningful personal interactions.  This year the group will be taking on many projects that include a fundraising event, a holiday gift bag drive and a hands-on community event with clients at Cluster House.

Young Professionals Board Organizes a Holiday Drive

This year's holiday gift bag program exceeded all expectations. The Urban Pathways Young Professionals Board (YPB) solicited in-kind gifts and monetary donations in order to prepare 1,000 bags for clients at the organization's drop-in centers and supportive housing facilities.

Each bag, tied with festive ribbon, contained some combination of hats, scarves, socks and gloves along with toiletries and other goodies.  Members worked late into the night to ensure that every Urban Pathways client would receive a gift.
