Shaping Chico's next generation of leaders...
Chico Young Professionals Organization (YPO)

The Chico Chamber’s Young Professionals Organization (YPO) is the local chapter of the National YPO. Our chapter was established in 2010 to bring together the region’s young business leaders for mentoring, education, networking, and social connection.
The YPO’s purpose is to support individuals who are either new to their careers or new to the community by connecting them with other driven professionals who share similar goals. At its core, the YPO demonstrates that building a successful career goes hand-in-hand with building meaningful relationships within the community.
The YPO hosts activities on the third Wednesday of each month. Check out our Member & Community Events page for upcoming event information.
