Since joining GYP, my business has doubled in referrals. The connections I’ve made here are more than just professional—they’re genuinely invested in my success. GYP gave me the platform to speak, collaborate, and grow with other ambitious young entrepreneurs

I moved to Golden not knowing anyone, and GYP changed everything. I’ve met clients, friends, and even a mentor through the events and networking opportunities. It’s not just a group—it’s a community that supports your hustle

GYP gave me a way to give back to the community while also building visibility for my business. Volunteering through the Community Impact Board helped me connect with other leaders and show what our brand stands for.

I joined GYP to meet people, but I stayed because of how much I’ve grown professionally. From speaker series to skill-building workshops, every event brings real value—and I’ve gained the confidence to lead, pitch, and grow in my career.
