Signature Events
College Tour Program
Each year, YPN partners with the ULBC in a year long college preparedness program entitled College Tour Program at Deerfield Beach High School. YPN presented various sessions such as Civic Engagement, Career Symposium, Financial Aid, and other meaningful topics for sophomores, juniors, and senior students. Over the past several years, the Young Professionals Network has committed hundreds of volunteer hours towards the program. Moreover, YPN volunteers are assigned junior mentees to assist them throughout the year.
