RESOURCES:

CYP is THE resource for young professionals in the Charleston area.

We facilitate connections between each other, businesses and opportunities in the community. Make sure to check out our list of resources or visit our Facebook page for a  monthly volunteer opportunity for young professionals.

We are also the voice for young professionals in Lowcountry and we are working on addressing differences between generations. We will educate both young professionals and those in other generations about each other and how to achieve cohesive workplaces with the work-life balance young professionals desire.

We are working to change workplaces by creating flexible schedules, training opportunities, and benefit packages desired by YPs.

If you are interested in learning more about our efforts, contact Community Resource Chair Holly Fisher at holly@stepaheadinc.com.
