HYP Celebrates 25th Anniversary

Harrisburg Young Professionals (HYP) is a group of young, active, civic-minded professionals who clearly envision Harrisburg’s future and are deeply invested in helping to make Harrisburg a great place to live, work and play.

HYP is part of a movement that is breathing new life into urban areas and reducing the negative impact of suburban sprawl while providing volunteer and professional networking opportunities for those living in our community. Their goal is to reduce the migration of educated young professionals to larger cities and encourage those who have left to return to the Central Pennsylvania region. HYP hosts over 100 in-person events annually, providing members with fun, interactive networking opportunities. HYP is known for its broad reach and significant impact in Harrisburg, providing a transformative connection to our city, to local businesses, and each other.

In this milestone year, HYP is excited to host a 25th Anniversary Celebration presented by Enders at the Historic King Mansion in June. Andrew Enders, President and General Counsel of Enders, shared that “HYP has woven itself into the fabric of our shared community, providing opportunities to build robust, resilient relationships to advance the success of our entire region. We are thrilled to celebrate HYP’s first 25 years!”

As HYP returned to gathering in person, the joy of reconnecting reinforced the importance of HYP to its members and volunteers. HYP is proud to serve as a launchpad for the next generation of leaders in the Harrisburg region. For the past century and the next century, Harrisburg Young Professionals is focused on making our community a better place!

2023 HYP Board President Olivia Edwards Rindfuss noted, “HYP is honored to be a bridge between young professionals and our vibrant city. At its core, HYP is committed to training and retaining future leaders—but that merely scratches the surface. Our members are introduced to every facet of civic and social life. We are a catalyst for growth and Harrisburg’s greatest cheerleader.”

If you have a desire to improve Harrisburg, there is a place for you in HYP. They welcome anyone who shares their drive and passion for helping our city be its best. You can learn more about Harrisburg Young Professionals at hyp.org.
