YOUNG BOARD
YOUNG PROFESSIONALS ADVISORY BOARD
The Young Professionals Advisory Board (YPAB) is a group of emerging leaders who dedicate their time, talents, networks and resources to raise awareness and support for MENTOR New York as it works to close the mentoring gap in New York by providing a myriad of services to mentoring and youth development programs across the state.
YPAB members have the unique opportunity to serve as advocates for MENTOR New York's important work, while advancing personal, professional and leadership goals. Each year, the YPAB play an instrumental role in the coordination of MENTOR NY's annual event: Mentoring's Night Out in Memory of Luke Boisi.
HISTORY OF THE YPAB
The Young Professionals Advisory Board (YPAB) was co-founded in 2004 by Zach Boisi and Eric Vital to tap into the energy and talents of young professionals in New York to help bring mentoring to scale across the state and to organize an annual fundraising event formerly known as The Luke Boisi Memorial Benefit.
Known today as Mentoring's Night Out in Memory of Luke Boisi, the benefit is held annually in NYC to raise awareness about the importance of mentoring while celebrating the vibrant life of Luke Boisi, who tragically passed away at the age of 21.
The brother of Zach Boisi, a former Director of MENTOR New York, and the son of Geoff Boisi, a co-founder of MENTOR National, Luke was impacted by mentoring and he spent the last few years of his life committed to helping others through his service with AmeriCorps.
