Connecting young professionals to everything Rochester!

Connect -- Engage -- Involve -- Inform // Our Events Calendar

The Rochester Young Professionals (RYP) is a community effort connecting great people with our community. We do this through informal professional networking and entrepreneurial development; involving our community through volunteerism; and engaging our community in Rochester's vast cultural, recreational and social activities, while revealing our community's regional assets. We also look to be an informational source to those in our community, highlighting the variety of issues and opportunities in our area.

Our overriding goal is to attract and retain talented, educated, ambitious young professionals in our community, working together with great organizations across Rochester. Fundamentally, RYP has been created to engage and cultivate Rochester through educating, connecting and involving our peers.

Our target is Rochester's young professional community, and we plan great events and networking activities that aren't grounded in the bar scene. We also believe that young professionals is inclusive of all individuals at the early stages of their career, and we welcome you to check us out.
