Connecting professionals in Lexington

Build your network. Boost your career.

Who We Are

We help young professionals in Lexington establish community and develop professional relationships.

Age is just a number. Everyone is welcome.

Founded in 2012 and led by passionate local volunteers, LYPA is a revitalized young professionals community—growing stronger post-pandemic by uniting former Young Professionals of Lexington members and welcoming new faces as we build our membership from the ground up.

We host one networking event per month, and one professional development event every other month, located at varying local businesses around Lexington.

Follow us on socials to find out where our next event will be!
