I've met people determined to better themselves and our community at every event I've attended. Those are the people I want to surround myself with, and TYP does a great job providing a fun and safe enviroment for all interested. 

TYP has been invaluable to not just my professional development, but personal as well. I've made friends and connections with some of the most awesome young professionals. Every event is exciting and unique at some of the best places in Tucson!

Whether you're looking for a new job, wanting to move up in your current role, or just want to connect with passionate young professionals who live in your community, TYP has something for everyone at every stage of their young professional journey. 

Being an SALC/TYP mentor was a great experience. I feel like I made a friend for life, I think I helped her think through things, and it was a great chance for me to “pay it forward” in honor of all the fantastic mentors I’ve been blessed to have over my career.
