Committees

PYP is a 100% volunteer-led organization and we cannot do what we do without dedicated members who lend their time and talent to helping the organization success. As many hands make light work, PYP utilizes a committee system to achieve its goals. Explore the various committees below and consider joining one that will utilize your current skills or help you develop new ones.

Committee participation is open to anyone interested in making PYP a better organization. Time commitment for committee members can be very flexible and varies based on the committee. Each committee also has a committee chair that takes on a leadership role working closely with the Board of Directors to ensure everything runs smoothly. PYP is immensely grateful to its committee members, committee chairs, and board of directors without whom the day-to-day operations and planning of over 40 events per year would not be possible.
