Who is the YPB?

Illinois Legal Aid Online's Young Professionals Board (YPB) is an ambitious and fun group of up-and-coming leaders who engage in networking, socializing, volunteering, and fundraising in support of our mission to use technology in innovative ways to open opportunities for justice to Illinois residents who cannot afford attorneys.
