Join the Young Professionals Board of Mariners Inn

Save to Favorites

The Young Professionals Board (YPB) of Mariners Inn is made up of like-minded volunteers, ages 18-35, who have a desire to make change in their community and break down the stigma of addiction.

The Young Professionals Board of Mariners Inn (YPB) supports the overall mission and material needs of Mariners Inn through community outreach, fundraising, and serving as a direct resource to staff and clients. By utilizing members’ unique skillsets, the YPB aims to break down barriers to recovery for residents. Client participation is encouraged in all activities, events, and meetings of the YPB as part of a continuous support network throughout the duration of recovery and graduation of the program.

YPB also seeks to reduce the stigma associated with homelessness and addiction through education of the public, especially youth, on recovery and addiction. YPB provides a connection to communities, internal and external, as a way of increasing awareness of the cause in hopes of expanding the reach of recovery programs.

We're looking for new members. We usually meet once a month, sometimes by phone, and plan internal and external events as a board. We appreciate ideas, enthusiasm, and a willingness to work with the community.

Please contact Erica Rakowicz (erakowicz@marinersinn.org) if you'd like more information on this opportunity. Talk to you soon!
