Outreach Director Ana Kay Yaghoubian was featured in Young Nonprofit Professionals Network DC Newsletter. In the article she explains her commitment to the social change sector:

"I think that nonprofit work---as a job and on a volunteer basis--- is only going to become more important in the future as it becomes more and more necessary for nonprofits to provide services and to advocate for people. I also like the sense of purpose that comes from working in a nonprofit and the feeling that I am doing something good to help others, something bigger than myself. "
