Young Professionals
WHAT IS YPRO?
We enrich the lives of Owatonna young professionals in their 20’s and 30’s through professional development, relationship building, and community activities.
BENEFITS TO EMPLOYEES
Y-Pro can help you develop relationships with other Owatonna young professionals, expand your business connections, enhance your leadership skills, and provide opportunities to get involved in our community. Join Y-Pro of Owatonna and take advantage of these valuable opportunities!
BENEFITS TO EMPLOYERS
Once Young Professionals are exposed to all there is to do in the region and establish a network of friends and colleagues in the area, they are more likely to stay and enjoy the Owatonna Area. Supporting Y-Pro will help your business recruit and retain young professionals.
Y-Pro will help members get involved in and feel connected to the Owatonna community. Get your employees involved today!
