A Little About Us
- The current YCP Chicago leadership team members speak 5 different languages.
- Collectively, the current YCP Chicago leadership team members have visited 66 different countries!!
- Our chapter's birthday is February 2nd.
Being involved with YCP has allowed me to develop a close community of Catholics in a variety of fields and life stages. Specifically, serving on the leadership team gave me the opportunity to develop my gifts and passions in a way that concretely glorifies God (and also looks good on a resume!).
