The Young Professional Committee (YPC) was created in May 2006 to create a platform for Young Professionals and their peers to actively volunteer their services and resources for those less fortunate. The projects we support empower under-privileged children, women, and physically and mentally handicapped individuals in India. We strongly believe that it only takes one person to give back to those in need. Whether you have one hour to give each week or each day, it can go a long way. We urge all our peers to come and get involved. We promise you a very fulfilling and rewarding experience.
