ncyt: North Carolina's Network of Young Nonprofit Professionals ncyt is a statewide community of young people working and volunteering in North Carolina's nonprofit sector. ncyt's mission is to encourage and mobilize the resources of young nonprofit professionals and those interested in promoting the active involvement of young people in the nonprofit sector. ncyt believes in the power of nonprofits to transform lives and communities and to make democracy work. But ncyt believes that organizations can do these things better by equipping young people with management and leadership skills; helping them build strong networks with other nonprofit professionals; encouraging them to build careers in the nonprofit sector; and helping them find ways to sustain themselves in their nonprofit work ncyt envisions a nonprofit sector that is committed to the continuous training and development of young leaders; encourages intergenerational partnerships and mentorships; is independent and sustainable; and reflects the demographics of the communities in which it works. ncyt is a self-sustaining membership organization. ncyt does not provide a definition for "young." Rather members define if they are young. While most members are in their 20s
