Chapel Hill Young Professionals
The Chapel Hill Young Professionals (CHYP pronounced "chip") is a group of fun professionals under 40 that meets monthly for networking, professional development, and community service opportunities.
CHYP monthly networking events will be held the second Tuesday of each month, in-person, at area Chamber member locations in 2025. Pop-up community service projects are added to the calendar regularly and members receive event notifications via newsletter. While CHYP is included as a benefit of Chamber membership, you don't need to be a Chamber member to join CHYP!
