Young Professionals Advisory Council

The Young Professionals Advisory Council (YPAC) is a group of young professionals and emerging leaders in the Los Angeles community and beyond who are passionate about supporting Chrysalis to change lives through jobs.

Established in 2019, YPAC’s primary goal is to build the next generation of advocates and donors for Chrysalis by raising awareness and engagement. YPAC hosts a number of events throughout the year, with opportunities to network, volunteer, and meet Chrysalis staff and clients.
