The NOVAUL Guild brings together people who are interested in enhancing the quality of life for all people in the community through the promotion of intercultural, interracial and community service activities.

The Leadership Council

The Leadership Council is comprised of former executive board members – those who shaped YPN’s beginnings and those who continued to build upon the foundation of excellence. The Leadership Council debuts following the 100 year anniversary of the Urban League. This key group informs and influences the strategic direction of YPN and will help us build an even stronger foundation when YPN reaches its 100 years. The continued involvement of our former leaders helps to maintain our programmatic excellence and champion the values of YPN.
