action teams
Action teams are the best way to take advantage of the YP experience. Whether you enjoy event planning, team leadership, or socializing, there is an action team that suits your interests.

Under the direction of YPW staff, each team has a chair, vice chair and secretary that serve as the leadership of each group. Most teams meet once a month for about an hour. Please contact hdenker@wichitachamber.org to find out more information regarding the selection and application process for joining an Action Team.

Access Wichita

Access Wichita serves as YPW's information source for what is going on in and around the city. Team members brainstorm ways to showcase the who, what , and where of Wichita. This team's primary goal is to plan at least 5 members-only events or programs each year that give members unique access to high-profile people, places, developments and initiatives that are influencing the community.

Community Relations

YPW Community Relations fosters a connection between YPs and non-profits in the area to provide YPs the opportunity to give back to their community. Community Relations highlights volunteer opportunities within non-profits in the area, as well as the non-profit organizations themselves. Community Relations also develops an annual community service project that allows YPs the opportunity to become involved in community improvement, as well as creating a sense of ownership and pride in Wichita.

Intern Return

Young Professionals of Wichita serves as the catalyst to bring interns from all types of industries and businesses together. A benefit to our corporate investors, the goal of the Intern Return program is to utilize YPW's resources to enrich the intern's experience in Wichita both socially and professionally by integrating them into the YPW network. As intern candidates complete their education, we want to be their #1 city of choice as they enter the workforce. This team will plan and execute at least 3 programs per year for interns of YPW's corporate investors.

Leadership Link

Leadership Link develops strategies to promote leadership opportunities and education for young professionals. Through Leadership Link, YP members are connected to board-level involvement across the city. The team plans 6 or more leadership-based programs for YPW members each year, called the Professional Development Series.  In the spring of 2011, Leadership Link launched the YP specific leadership program - Leadership Academy.
 

Pulse

Pulse provides numerous opportunities for YP’s to expand their social networks and experience Wichita’s “cool” places. As YPW’s Social Action Team, Pulse events facilitate new YP peer connections while helping members expand their awareness of the different social/entertainment options available in Wichita.

Team Mosaic

Team Mosaic celebrates Wichita's cultural heritage and rich diversity, creating a community where all young professionals feel welcome.

YP Ambassadors

YP Ambassadors serve as marketers for YPW. The team serves as the welcoming committee at all events and coordinates new member orientation. Team members also develop and coordinate presentations for corporate investors, community and professional organizations - we want everyone to know about what YPs are doing to make a difference in the community! As an added service, the YP Ambassadors assist employers with the recruitment of young intellectual capital from within and outside the Wichita community.
