YPK provides the platform we need to continue to make Knoxville a great place to live. Whether it's giving members access to behind the scenes tours with local companies, exposing folks to non-profit organizations and how to be involved, or making a new friend, there's really something our organization can provide for everyone.  

YPK has opened doors for me, and allowed me to meet amazing people like Rob Petrone who has inspired me to follow my dreams. Nita Sexton that will go out of her way to help anyone. Alan Moore who allowed young professionals to be developed and use their talents.

Young Professionals of Knoxville (YPK) has launched a new personal and professional development series – Let’s Do Lunch! Are you passionate about something? Do you have an interesting hobby? Are you a subject expert in a field at work? Your fellow YPK members want to hear about it, and there is no limit on the topic you can present!

The Young Professionals of Knoxville would like to congratulate the graduates of the 2018 Leadership Certificate program. These young professionals completed an 8-week intensive course, learning how to set and achieve personal and professional goals, discussing leadership and the qualities of a good leader, and discovering their own strengths and how to apply them at work and in the community.

Congratulations to the 52 new members of the Young Professionals of Knoxville!

YPK does so much to help connect individuals who may not have had an opportunity to meet otherwise. I work in Oak Ridge, and it is not easy to meet fellow young professionals in Knoxville. YPK has introduced me to a vast network of interesting, driven, caring people. Honestly, most of my friends and social life stem from YPK!

You applied and have been accepted. Congrats! You're a member of Young Professionals of Knoxville! Now what?

Young Professionals of Knoxville (YPK) exists to connect and develop leaders and to serve our community. Each spring, we recruit those who live, work, and play in Knoxville who want to plug into the community even further.

YPK has given me the opportunity to connect with other young professionals, get out of my comfort zone, share my love for event planning, and hopefully leave my mark on the way we manage membership for YPK.  

Our Leadership Certificate for 2018 Kicked-off Tuesday night at Abuelo's!
