The Greater Scranton Chamber of Commerce is proud to announce the launch of its new Young Professionals (YP) Program, sponsored by Peoples Security Bank & Trust, an initiative designed to cultivate the next generation of business and community leaders throughout the greater Scranton region.

The program will officially kick off on Wednesday, February 25, from 5:00–7:00 PM at Madame Jenny’s at the Bittenbender, 126 Franklin Avenue, Scranton. The event will bring together emerging leaders from a wide range of industries and careers for an evening focused on connection, professional growth, and community engagement.

The YP Program was developed to provide a platform for individuals under 40 to create meaningful opportunities early in their careers, new to the region, or seeking to expand their professional networks. Through structured professional development programs, networking events, mentorship opportunities, and volunteer initiatives, the YP Program aims to strengthen both individual career paths and the broader regional workforce.

At the kick-off event, those in attendance will have the opportunity to learn more about the vision and goals of the program, connect with fellow young professionals, and gain insight into the year ahead.

“This new initiative reflects our commitment to fostering long-term leadership and economic vitality in our region,” said Bob Durkin, president of The Chamber. “By bringing young professionals together and providing avenues for meaningful engagement, we are investing in the future of our business community.”

The Chamber encourages young professionals across the region to gather friends and colleagues and register to attend. The kick-off event marks the beginning of a dynamic year of programming designed to support career advancement, build lasting relationships, and deepen community involvement.
