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.
