Looking for a community with a professional focus grounded in Catholic values? Your 20s and 30s can be a confusing and lonely time, but they don't have to be. Come and see.
Attend a YCP event and join like-minded, mission-driven peers to find God in all things and seek excellence and joy in every area of your life.
YCP brings together young workers and seasoned business professionals in a variety of programs to foster Catholic identity, encourage community, and inspire action.
Executive Panel Discussions are member-exclusive events promoting focused conversation about living virtuously in the workplace. Three panelists lead the discussion about a particular virtue and what it means to practice that virtue in daily life.
After the panel, table leaders bring the discussion down to the individual level. At the end of the evening, a representative from each table shares their collective insights with the rest of the group.
Attendees enjoy complimentary drinks and appetizers and have a chance to socialize before and after the evening's discussion.
