About the Young Professionals Connection (YPC)
YPC's mission is to promote an environment that attracts and retains young professionals in Greater Des Moines. Our efforts focus on connecting young professionals to each other and to the community through social, civic, charitable, and professional development endeavors.
We are a focused extension of the Greater Des Moines Partnership, started when visionaries of the Partnership recognized that the 20-to-30-something age demographic needed a voice in our community. The Partnership, along with some like-minded young professionals formed the Young Professionals Connection in 2000.
Today we are a dynamic network of leaders shaping Greater Des Moines into a place to thrive. We activate more than 500 members by engaging them in YPC committees and events, Greater Des Moines Partnership activites, and community organizations. We hope you’ll join us!
