Golden Young Professionals

The Golden Young Professionals (GYP) are dedicated to enhancing the vitality of the Golden community while empowering young professionals under 40 to thrive as leaders. As an integral part of the Golden Chamber of Commerce, we’re a motivated and energetic group committed to building a better Golden.

GYP organizes over 50 educational, social, and volunteer events each year, providing members with a strong connection between their personal passions and professional goals. Our monthly meetings take place on the third Thursday at 7:30 AM at The Golden Welcome Center (1010 Washington Ave.), and we welcome anyone eager to engage and grow.

Key Opportunities with GYP:

  • Volunteer Opportunities: Each month, we offer a different volunteer event to give back to our community.
  • Networking: Join us for our monthly V.I.B.E. at Five (Very Important Business Event), hosted at various local businesses in partnership with the Golden Chamber of Commerce.
  • Education: Attend our quarterly events featuring speakers designed to boost your knowledge and business growth.
  • Social Activities: Participate in our summer softball team (no experience necessary!), support the Colorado School of Mines Athletics, or join our book club. There’s something for everyone!

We invite you to connect, collaborate, and cultivate your potential with the Golden Young Professionals!
