Engaged with Cape Cod's young professional community at two dozen monthly and annual events;
Advanced quality of life and career opportunity for young Cape Codders through $2,500 in scholarship funding;
Approved a statement paper on policies that increase housing options for young professionals; and
Connected thousands of job seekers and employers through our online job board (34,000+ job board hits for the year!).

Support Efforts to Form a Statewide Young Professionals Commission!

Bill S.208 to Establish Legislative Commission on Young Professionals

A bill sponsored by State Senator James Welch of Hampden would establish a special legislative commission to "better engage, involve and educate young professionals in decisions and policies that affect them and the commonwealth." This young professionals commission would work to propose solutions and best practices for retaining our young professionals throughout the state. We encourage our CCYP supporters to read the bill and contact your representatives to share your input on what could be an important step toward getting young professionals' needs front-and-center for decision-makers statewide.

Become a Connect Event Host!

Are you looking for an audience of young professionals to promote your business or service? Hosting a CCYP Connect Event may be for you!

For the first time ever, CCYP is offering the chance to apply to be a Connect Event host in 2019 ! In addition to our long-running After Hours, Coffee, and Lunch Connect events, we'll be adding Family-Friendly and Workshop-Style networking events in 2019. These new event formats will offer a way to "network without networking," giving attendees the opportunity to make new connections in a fun and relaxed setting.
