The Next Generation of Civic Leaders
YPAB co-founders Zach Boisi and Eric Vital had the vision to make a difference by tapping into the talent and energy of New York's young professionals. In 2004, the pair founded the Young Professionals Advisory Board (YPAB) with a clear mission—to enhance the impact of mentoring initiatives across the state. The YPAB organized the fundraising event formerly known as The Luke Boisi Memorial Benefit and today plays an integral role in our annual MENTOR of the Year Awards. By working tirelessly to engage donors and investors, these inspiring young professionals help ensure we can expand quality mentoring opportunities for youth wherever they live, learn, work, and play.
