Youth Opportunities Unlimited (Y.O.U.) is proud to announce the formation of its new Young Professional Organization (YPO).

Meghan Marano, a longtime volunteer for Y.O.U, founded the YPO with the goal of educating and attracting young professionals to increase Y.O.U.’s mission and volunteer opportunities.

The YPO Leadership Council held its inaugural event at Jukebox in Cleveland and is planning a second event in January.

"The YPO soft launch event was more then we could have imagined," Marano says. "It was a great experience to meet young professionals from so many different industries with one thought in common, supporting Y.O.U. and the mission to help better Cleveland youth.  The YPO Leadership Committee is already excited and eager to plan our next event!”

A Facebook account for the YPO is available here. If interested in joining the YPO, please email ypo@youthopportunities.com.
