YPN - Young Professionals Network

The Young Professionals Network is your avenue to connecting with career-focused young professionals in the Scotland County Area.

The Laurinburg/Scotland County Area Chamber’s Young Professionals Network plans and assists the young professionals of the Scotland County Area to improve their career, develop their leadership abilities, build their professional network, and give back to the community.

Your membership in YPN will connect you to motivated go-getters who want to have an impact in the community. Pull up a seat at the table, collaborate with like-minded individuals and advance your own professional development while making the Scotland County Area a better, stronger community. 

YPN is the best way in the Scotland Area to connect with other young professionals and develop your own skills. With the wide variety of opportunities to engage, there is something for everyone.

If you’re new to the area, YPN is a great way to meet new people and learn about your new community. If you’ve lived here your whole life, you might be surprised by the access you gain through YPN!
