YPO Norther Lights is an integrated chapter dedicated to upholding the organization’s core values of family, legacy, philanthropy, health, and diversity. Our members come from diverse backgrounds and industries, but we are united by our commitment to these ideals.

Family is at the heart of our chapter. We support each other like an extended family, celebrating major milestones and providing strength during difficult times. Our events and initiatives aim to promote family bonding for our members.

Philanthropy, health, diversity, and leaving a positive legacy are intertwined values that guide our chapter’s actions.

Everything we do as a chapter stems from our devotion to these core values. They shape an inclusive, compassionate, and philanthropic culture that makes us proud to be part of YPO.
