Vision: Our vision is to build an engaged nonprofit community through networking and collaboration.

Equity: the act of developing systems, procedures, and resource distribution mechanisms to create opportunities for all people. This means acknowledging and including each individual’s unique situation and addressing systemic barriers.

Equity, diversity, and inclusion are core values of ynpnLNK. Each of us brings a unique perspective, so a common definition of these values is critical to ensuring that the members of ynpnLNK can work together to achieve our vision.
