Chicago Young Professionals,

Chicago Professionals for Youth (CPY) has one primary purpose: To help improve the lives of underserved youth throughout Chicago. Our members work directly with youth to help them build the skills and confidence necessary for their future academic and professional success.

Founded in 2005, CPY’s network now includes over 300 young professionals from a wide variety of backgrounds, including Finance, Advertising, Marketing, Consulting and Education. Our volunteer opportunities are extremely flexible and time-efficient, allowing members to make a significant impact on the community in as little as 30 minutes a week to 2 hours per month.

If you’re looking to give back to the community, we hope you will join us.

Sincerely,


Kapil Chaudhary
Chairman & Co-Founder, Chicago Professionals for Youth (CPY)
