Meet Our Board: YPAB
In 2004, Zach Boisi and Matt Bonanno co-founded the Young Professionals Advisory Board (YPAB) to help young people find caring adult mentors who can change their lives for the better. Each year, the YPAB hosts Mentoring's Night Out in Memory of Luke Boisi, a fundraiser benefiting Mentor New York and remembering the life of Luke Boisi.
