Highlights from our Why Join RYP? Level Up Webinar

RYP is more than a networking group.
While networking is a big part of what we do, our focus is on building meaningful relationships and creating opportunities for young professionals to connect with each other and the Rochester community.

Membership is free.
Anyone can join RYP at no cost and gain access to events, volunteer opportunities, professional development programming, and community connections.

Our events are built around four pillars.
Community Development, Professional Development, Volunteering, and Sports & Recreation guide everything we do throughout the year.

You don't need to know anyone to attend.
Many of our members shared that they came to their first event knowing no one and left with new connections, friendships, and reasons to come back.

RYP is powered by volunteers.
Our board members volunteer their time to create opportunities for Rochester's young professionals to learn, connect, give back, and have fun.

There's something for everyone.
From happy hours and volunteer projects to educational panels, sports leagues, and community events, RYP offers a variety of ways to get involved.
