About us
Established in 2009, we are a dynamic group of professionals that view State College as a great place to call home. It's no secret that State College is a transient town. We understand it can be difficult to socialize and feel close to the community. SCYP creates a welcoming environment for all young professionals. We may be a group young professionals, but at heart this is a organization to socialize. Our members are typically between the ages of 22 and 45, but we do not have an age requirement. If you are young at heart and have a passion for our area, you're welcome...no encouraged...to join!
Membership dues can be purchased at https://scyoungpros.com/membership/. Not sure if you're ready to commit? That's okay! Check out an event or two.
We have three main values at SCYP.
Live
No matter what brings you to the State College area, we are one community. At SCYP, we believe in being active and involved in making our community a better place. We volunteer and fundraise with a passion and energy for everyone living in Happy Valley.
Work
Everyoneโs favorite subject! Chances are you might have moved to State College for a new job or potentially graduate school (thatโs work, right?) We get it. We work here, too! SCYP provides a year-round forum for young professionals to connect, collaborate, and learn from each other. No matter your profession, together we build a foundation upon which State College can build its future.
Play
Life canโt be all work โ We have some fun along! State College has an abundance of opportunities to kick back, relax, and have fun. Whether you are settling down or passing through, we may be colleagues and neighbors, but most of all, we are friends.Whether itโs on the softball field, at a happy hour, or volunteering, SCYP offers events to meet new people and make new friends.

Volunteer: Arts Fest Green Crew
Centre Safe, 140 West Nittany Ave, State College, PA, USJHelp keep Arts Fest beautiful and have fun along the way! ๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ฌ๐ ๐ฅ๐๐ญ ๐ฎ๐ฌ ๐ค๐ง๐จ๐ฐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐จ๐ฆ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐ฒ ๐ฌ๐ข๐ ๐ง๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฎ๐ฉ ๐๐๐๐: https://forms.gle/PvkKXGyeKZrQUfdZ9
We will work together as a group and make our way all throughout Arts Fest, making sure that the many trash and recycling cans get emptied and are available for the many attendees. Not only is this a unique way to see Arts Fest, it's also a great way to see all of the effort and appreciation that goes into creating and running such a large event. We will also be making a well-timed pit stop at Zeno's or A's Pub halfway through our shift for some much deserved refreshment. Additionally, if you cannot commit to the entire 3 hours but still want to help out, just let us know.
