What we’re about
Welcome to LA Young Professionals & Socially Minded Change-makers!
Are you a young professional in D.C. passionate about purpose, community, and real-world impact? Do you believe in the power of entrepreneurship and want to help shape the next generation of leaders? You’re in the right place.
This group brings together socially conscious professionals—leaders, creatives, entrepreneurs, and advocates—who care about equity, innovation, and youth empowerment.
We partner with BUILD.org, a national nonprofit that equips high school students from under-resourced communities with real-world entrepreneurial skills and mentorship. Through this collaboration, our members have unique opportunities to connect directly with BUILD’s youth entrepreneurs, share their insights, offer support, and learn from the next generation of changemakers.
Whether you're here to network, volunteer, mentor, or just be inspired, you’ll find a welcoming, driven community ready to make a difference.
Come for the cause. Stay for the community. Let’s build the future—together.
