Our Mission

The Humane Society of Charlotte’s Young Affiliated Professionals (YAP) is a group of people who care about animal welfare and want to promote the mission of the Humane Society of Charlotte. YAP aims to bring together Charlotteans who want to help animals in need while getting to know like-minded professionals through social events, networking, and fundraising activities.

Our Community Impact

As members of YAP, we support the efforts of the Humane Society of Charlotte by volunteering, participating and supporting special events, hosting fundraisers, making donations, and interacting with the staff, Board of Directors, donors, volunteers, and adopters that love and support HSC.

We are committed to caring for the companion animals in our community while bringing together young professionals people who hope to connect, network, strengthen their philanthropic efforts and meet peers in our community!
