The Raleigh Young Professionals group is the paramount social and professional networking group with goals of contributing to a better Raleigh and a better you. The term "Young" to us is a state of mind more than an age. We welcome all to join the RYP that are at least 21 years of age with no cap on the top end. We are made up of connected, motivated and energetic professionals that will surely make up the future of Raleigh's leadership. We provide a way for our members to experience more of our great city and be active participants in social, professional and charitable events.

RYP offers our members an opportunity to be a part of something BIG and a chance to build solid relationships. Whether looking for a new career, ways to expand your client database or simply a chance to make new personal connections, RYP has something for everyone. Social media is wonderful for connecting with volumes of people but RYP is the best local group to meet in real life while contributing to positive change in The Capital City. Join RYP to network with other professionals in Raleigh, meet the movers and shakers, experience new and exciting venues throughout our city, and give back to the community.
