Founded in 2005, the Columbus Young Professionals (CYP) Club has grown from a simple idea hatched by two friends over burgers into the nation’s largest membership association for emerging leaders - with more than 30,000 registered members. Our organization is led by a staff of six, one intern and nearly 150 volunteers. The CYP Club provides opportunities for social & business networking, leadership development, recreational sports leagues and community impact. We exist to help advance important areas for emerging professionals, such as career-building and involvement in the community, as well as access to meaningful conversations and local culture. We seek to be a true representation of the next generation of leaders, entrepreneurs, executives, philanthropists, artists and movers & shakers across the Columbus region. Membership is free (and accessible) to anyone wishing to join. Our vision is to be a beacon for everyone.
