Programs
For years, Sarasota County has enjoyed the benefits of becoming a leading destination community in Florida. The successful combination of pristine beaches, brilliant weather and culturally rich surroundings has given Sarasota County a reputation of being named "paradise." As a result, young residents are ready to bridge the gap of corporations wanting to sustain a well-rounded group of young professionals. The Young Professionals Group offers several programs, benefits and ways to become active and involved.
Networking Events
With this new generation of committed individuals, businesses and organizations in our community will gain an even greater advantage both economically, as well as culturally. YPG has several social, business and educational outlets, including:
- Night-time Networking Socials
- Keynote Speaker Luncheons
- Private Networking Events
- Quarterly Membership Events know as the "Sarasota Series"
- Government Issues Luncheons
- Volunteer Opportunities
YPG Member Benefits
The YPG Member Benefits Committee brings additional advantages to our YPG Members with discounts and reduced rates that may be accessed by presenting the YPG membership card to the benefit provider at time of purchase. Benefits are available at many venues throughout the greater Sarasota area, such as cultural organizations, activity centers and restaurants.
Leadership Placement
The YPG Leadership Committee's goal is to connect young professionals to non-profit boards and councils and to honor and encourage exemplary member activity through management of the leadership circle initiative.
We also encourage involvement in city and county advisory boards and councils.

Volunteer Opportunities
The YPG believes in the importance of being connected not only with other professionals in Sarasota, but also connected to our community at large. Volunteering is key in making that connection and giving back to the community that supports us.
As a group and a voice in the community, our YPG volunteer efforts give those who currently volunteer an opportunity to bring their experience to the YPG and provide those who are new to volunteering with help on where to start. Volunteering together is also another way to form new bonds within our own membership.
