Young Leaders Advisory Board

In honor of FPA’s 30th Anniversary in 2007, the Ed Fund formed a Young Leaders Advisory Board (YLAB) that is made up of talented, intelligent, and enthusiastic women and men in their 20’s and early 30’s who are passionate about driving the pro-choice movement into the future. This advisory board is devising and implementing ways to engage more young people in the pro-choice movement so that the Ed Fund and FPA along with their allies can remain strong for the next 30 years.
