The Young Professional Network (YPN) is the professional development program designed to engage and introduce young professionals to the U.S. Virgin Islands unique array of diverse resources and opportunities throughout the territory.

YPN members gain access to prominent industry leaders and equally ambitious peers. The organization improves its members' networking skills, expands their contact bases and provides the opportunity to promote themselves and their businesses. YPN encourages its members to become more actively involved in the territory's business scene to impact the current and future marketplace.

YPN hosts monthly networking events in some of St. Thomas's exclusive restaurants. These social settings provide a comfortable atmosphere for establishing new personal or professional relationships, allowing young business people to interact socially, exchange ideas and share common interests. Business leaders, public officials and industry experts are invited to speak at the events, providing members with tips on how to advance their careers.

YPN is dedicated to community outreach by assisting local non-profit entities and organizing monthly coastal clean-ups to keep our island beaches and coastlines pristine.

The membership dues are $75 annually and are based on an individual membership agreement.
