What We Do

YANA improves access to and deployment of human capital for social entrepreneurs and organizations.

We accelerate social change by supporting social entrepreneurs and organizations that provide direct services in communities and sectors of need.

We advance individual careers by providing guidance and support from their college days to retirement.

We fill the needs of people and organizations desiring to achieve greater social impact.

For many Yale alumni, YANA is the only connection back to Yale.

We do all of this by Connecting, Convening, Collaborating through our programs, our Chapter meetings, and written and live spotlights of impactful organizations.
