Enhance our community. Create Connections. Invest in each other.

Who are Greater Grand Forks Young Professionals?

Officially established in 2007, the Greater Grand Forks Young Professionals is a 501(c)6 nonprofit organization dedicated to the growth, connection, and development of young professionals within the region.

Our beginnings date back to 2004 with the first GGFYP interest meeting at Parrot’s Cay attracting a unexpected amount of young professionals looking to create a space and name for themselves. Our Young Professionals come from businesses and organizations across Grand Forks, East Grand Forks, and the region.

All are welcome regardless of age, background, or area of residence.

What does GGFYP do?

GGFYP is represented by our 3 pillars: Community Involvement, Social Events (Networking), & Professional Development. Each of these pillars has a committee, and each committee hosts 1 event monthly.

These events help GGFYP create a platform for members to build relationships, develop professionally, become politically and philanthropically active, and contribute to the development and quality of life in our community.

GGFYP helps young professionals become active and involved leaders in their community and work place.
