Each year, YPBirmingham partners with local organizations to offer exciting, unique opportunities to both members of YPBirmingham and local companies themselves. Read on to explore the benefits of partnering with one of the city’s coolest groups.

About YPBirmingham

Young Professionals of Birmingham—called YPBirmingham for short—is a local organization committed to connecting its members with new places, experiences, people and nonprofits in The Magic City.

YPBirmingham members interact with the community in three ways:

• Social: YPBirmingham’s monthly socials help support a local nonprofit & align with experiences that members want to try, such as eating at a new restaurant or visiting a new bar. 
• Networking: In addition to connecting young professionals with peers in town, YPBirmingham helps members grow their careers through quarterly networking functions.
• Outreach: YPBirmingham participates in several community outreach events each year, each designed to give members the opportunity to give back to The Magic City. 

Each month, YPBirmingham hosts social events open to both members and guests. Often, these socials feature a local nonprofit and showcase a unique spot in Birmingham. And thanks to their partnerships with local companies, YPBirmingham can offer discounts at bars, restaurants and other businesses.

Why do local companies partner with YPBirmingham?
