Yearly YPC Events
YPC Kick-Off Party
Do you like to party? Do you like drink specials, free food and tons of prizes? The annual kick-off party every January provides just that. No need to be a YPC member to attend what is often our best attended event each year. Sometimes we just need to throw a party! Questions: social@ypcdsm.com.
YPC Lunch with Leaders
One of the best things about growing professionally in Des Moines is the access to leaders around the metro. Lunch with Leaders provides you an opportunity to sit down in a small group setting with executives and CEOs from the area. Some of the best mentors Des Moines can offer!

Golden Circle Games presented by YPC
Hosted at the State Fair Grounds, the Golden Circle Games are a longstanding annual tradition as an opportunity for an afternoon of team building with co-workers and friends. The afternoon kicks off with costumes and tailgating followed by a series of games in which a champion is eventually crowned. For more information, click here.
80/35 Do More Village presented by YPC
Hosted by the Des Moines Music Coalition, 80/35 is an annual music festival set in downtown Des Moines. YPC provides local nonprofit organizations an opportunity to host a fun, interactive booth at the festival and provides young professionals a chance to volunteer at the event.

YPC Nonprofit Forum
Developing into one of the community’s signature nonprofit events, the forum is YPC’s chance to give back to organizations throughout the metro. Nonprofit organizations are able to collaborate together, as well as host a booth. Open to the entire community, attendees can learn more about where they want to volunteer their time and become more informed of leadership positions as well. For more information, click here.
YPC Annual Meeting
Each December YPC closes the year with awards, speeches and the presentation of the slate for next year’s board. We try hard to show our appreciation to Des Moines! We look back on a year of successes and share a festive holiday party with everyone around the community. For more information, click here.
