ABOUT GRYP

OUR STORY

When GRYP was formed in 2004, Grand Rapids did not offer a group that provided young professionals from a variety of professions the opportunity to network, grow, and become more involved in the community – with no membership fees. Seven young professionals recognized this need and how it related to retaining talented young professionals and thereby established GRYP.

​

GRYP hosts over 15 events each year. These include educational events with our personal growth breakfast series, company tours, panel events and luncheon speakers, networking events with our monthly Unwinds and Table for Six, and volunteer opportunities.

MISSION

Building an community of young professionals in Grand Rapids to cultivate social, professional, and civic growth opportunities.

​​

GRYP fulfills this mission by providing networking, professional development, and community involvement opportunities for young professionals ages 21-40 in Grand Rapids, Michigan and the local West Michigan area.
