Opportunity

Our young professionals are the next generation of leaders. Equipping young professionals with the necessary skills to thrive and create belonging for others is essential in the increasingly polarized society we live in. The Young Professionals Network was established in January 2024 to create a community and space for young professionals to build capacity in a safe, fun environment.

Led by The Center for Economic Opportunity & Belonging with the Utah Division of Multicultural Affairs.
