They offer more unique advantages as well, like increased social capital and volunteering opportunities.

HYPE-Richmond (Helping Young Professionals Engage) serves as a connection between young professionals in Richmond, Indiana and our community. HYPE-Richmond seeks to develop young professionals with tools, services, and programs, help young professionals engage and connect, and empower young professionals to create an impact in our community.
I’m so excited to be a member of HYPE-Richmond. I want you to join, too! Let’s talk about how HYPE-Richmond can benefit your social and professional life.
Why HYPE-Richmond?
Those skill sets I listed above? We need them to stay competitive in today’s job market (and they’ll help us be more well-rounded adults with more well-rounded skills). It’s important that young professionals have free or low-cost options for access to educational resources: industry research, newsletters, seminars, events, etc. HYPE-Richmond presents events like Leadercast (a telecast conference where experts taught professional skills) to provide these services to our community.
We know these skills are important. But professional development isn’t the most…fun. You’ll be hard-pressed to find someone describing their ideal Saturday night as a couple of trade journals and a conference call. Building these skills with peers through programming, networking nights, and events can make professional development enjoyable.
And HYPE-Richmond honors us for our hard work every year at the Outstanding Young Professionals Luncheon.
Who’s In HYPE-Richmond?
Literally anyone aged 21-40.
Look, this isn’t some classist thing. You don’t need to have a job in which you dress up for to join HYPE-Richmond. It doesn’t matter if you work at McDonald’s or Reid; entry-level to management; self-employed or a cube jockey; all are welcome. Even if you’re unemployed-that doesn’t mean that you aren’t a professional in need of skill development and peer support.
If you are between the ages of 21-40 you deserve the benefits that HYPE-Richmond provides. Period.
