Special Olympics Illinois's Young Professionals Board is dedicated to strengthening their community through philanthropy and volunteerism. YPB’s overarching goals are:

• Support SOILL and its strategic partnerships, events, fundraisers, advocacy, and community engagements, by integrating SOILL’s mission into every activity.
• Grow awareness for the mission. Educate your peers and the community at-large about individuals with intellectual disabilities and build awareness of the value of volunteerism and fundraising.
• Fundraise and provide fundraising support. Open new doors in the community to gain funding or in-kind support for SOILL efforts.
• Connect with corporate and civic leaders creating a deeper connection within your community and with SOILL partners.
• Provide professional volunteer support. Support SOILL with special projects in the local market including advocacy, program execution and participation, event support, and community engagement.
• Grow a local network of volunteers. Represent professional, geographic, and ethnic diversity and all those impacted by intellectual disabilities in the community. YPB builds awareness among the young and civic-minded.
