Connect YP in Greenwood, SC is dedicated to fostering a community of young professionals to come together and participate in professional development activities, service to the community, and social networking events.
If you are over 21 years of age and feel young at heart, then listen up. In September 2006 the Greenwood Chamber of Commerce launched a new program called Connect YP (CYP), which targets the young, talented, future workforce of the area. CYP was created to be an inclusive group designed to attract new and retain existing young talent in the region.
So who are these “young professionals?” CYP targets the 21-41 year old population, but is open to any “young thinking” or “young-at-heart” professional. CYP is comprised of entrepreneurs, non-profit workers, bankers, engineers, artists, and just about any profession in the Greenwood community.
The goal of CYP is to “connect. empower. engage.” young professionals by providing professional and leadership development, community and civic involvement, and social opportunities in the area.
Membership benefits include discount admission to ALL CYP events, CYP membership cards which offer discounts to local businesses, CYP exclusive events, free membership directory, t-shirts, discounted massages and movie passes and MUCH more. Beginning March 2009 our membership rates have been discounted to ONLY $35 per person.
To contact CYP, please call us at the Greenwood Chamber of Commerce at 864.223.8431 or email jeff@greenwoodscchamber.org
