York Young Professionals (YYP), is a community of young, civic-minded professionals committed to making York a better place to live, work, and play. Since our founding in 1999, our mission has been to act as a catalyst for progress, bringing together driven individuals, community stakeholders, and the businesses that call York home. Through a year-round calendar of networking meet-ups, social events, professional development opportunities, and volunteer outreach, YYP creates the space for meaningful connection, personal growth, and community impact.

Whether you’re sharpening your leadership skills, building your professional profile, giving back, or simply having fun and meeting great people, we’re here for it. Our membership is diverse, welcoming those with a “young-mind” attitude. While our median member age hovers between 25–35, we believe “young” is a mindset — so if you’re ready to make connections and contribute, you belong here.
