Launched Excelerate, a new professional development program that offers quarterly workshops on leadership and soft skill trainings on topics facing young professionals.
In 2017, reached and exceeded 900 members for the first time in history.
Created the YP Unite Summit for young professionals from across the region to come together to hear about local legislation, share best practices and network and be a collective voice for YP’s in our region.
Launched “Connect,” “Develop,” and “Engage” Series which successfully centered programming directly with YPAL’s mission.
Developed the Emerging Leaders Program, a comprehensive leadership development program that addresses specific leadership development needs of young professionals as emerging leaders. This program conducted a detailed survey of the opinions of 550 young professionals on both their work like and living in Louisville (the “Live, Work, Play Survey), the results of which garnered television and written news coverage and were presented to various local organizations.
YPAL partnered with Leadership Louisville Center to create a unique leadership training program for YPs called Ignite Louisville.
Each year YPAL partners with various non profit organizations, providing fresh ideas, energetic volunteers and increased awareness. Some of the non-profits we have worked with include the Salvation Army, Special Olympics, Junior Achievement, Brightside and Kentucky Harvest.
