Testimonials
-
UVYP helped me meet people after moving to the area with no friends or family. Their events foster community and new relationships, and there's always something for everyone

The very first event I went to was quite a lot of fun at Harpoon Brewery. The people who attended were friendly, sociable, welcoming, and indicative of a group of individuals seeking a community. I would definitely recommend finding an event that interests you and attending!

Though many of us live and enjoy working within our rural communities, it can be hard for young professionals to seek out friendships, relationships, or professional connections. UVYP has helped to mitigate this problem by providing fun, educational, and unique opportunities for my age group to connect in a relaxed environment. For someone like me who often works from home, it is the highlight of my week to join these outings!
