Membership

You don’t have to go it alone.

Membership in YOPN is like having a reassuring friend; someone who’s not only walked in your shoes but is also there to help you confidently move forward - together.

Here’s another important benefit: MEMBERSHIP IS FREE.

Your FREE membership in YOPN gives you access to a wealth of information thoughtfully curated for those living with or caring for people with YOPD. It’s our mission to foster a supportive community where members feel safe, make connections to others who understand what they’re experiencing, and gain access to programs and resources designed to help strengthen both mind and body.

I ended up joining the YOPN board a little over a year ago, and it’s been great. We’re reaching people who want to be active and not sit and wait for PD to take everything from them. It’s exhilarating and exciting to discover there are a ton of people out there that are experiencing the same thing.

Safe and Supportive Community.
We offer members a safe and accepting community to make connections, acknowledge the implications of their diagnosis, and explore their path forward, enabling them to envision a fulfilling life beyond the disease.

Source of Inspiration for Individuals with YOPD to Thrive.
We celebrate what’s possible, recognize the strength that comes from being resilient, and inspire members to embrace life beyond their diagnosis and thrive.
