Connect here.

Build your personal and professionals networks.

Tweeting, posting on Facebook or Insta, or contributing to LinkedIn discussions are great networking tools, but they can only get you so far. If you’re not connecting and interacting in person, you’re missing valuable face time with your peers and potential employers.

Ylink connects you with other YPs, business contacts and opportunities to grow. Make friends, make contacts and make strides in your development.

Make an impact.

Engage with your community and other YPs that value volunteerism.

Margaret Mead once said, “Never doubt that a small group of committed people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”

YLink facilitates collaboration among young professionals and area non-profits and other organizations in need of volunteer support. Its purpose is to build stronger connections across the community and affect positive change by coordinating events that help YPs give back to Kenosha.

Grow here.

Open doors. Evolve. Live your best life.

YLink helps create (and keep) rockstars in the Kenosha Area. Informative and engaging workshops provide opportunities to learn new skills relevant to personal growth and employer needs. Other programs equip YPs to serve on nonprofit boards or connect them with mentoring. It's working to help catapult YPs up the career ladder, and engage businesses, organizations and educational institutions in their efforts to attract and retain talent here.
