The Alliance’s YP program is led by the YP Board—a group of dynamic young professionals representing our investor organizations.
These leaders bring diverse perspectives, fresh ideas, and a strong commitment to shaping the future of Charlotte’s business and civic landscape. Together, we’re building a stronger Charlotte Region – led by its next generation of leaders.

“Charlotte has given me so much more than a new job and address—it’s given me a community. A place where I can grow, give back, and be part of something larger than myself.”
“As a young professional, I’ve learned that leadership isn’t just about climbing the ladder. It’s about how you show up – with consistency, integrity, and a mindset of service.”
“My leadership journey has been an exhilarating climb, fueled by a passion for empowering the next generation and fostering meaningful connections.”
“Throughout my time in Charlotte, I’ve witnessed dramatic change in both Uptown and South End and continue to be impressed with how Charlotte has evolved to be one the best places for YPs to live in the country.”
Through an array of programs and councils, participants have opportunities to broaden their connections, engage with a diverse group of local professionals, and develop as civic-minded leaders who advocate for the Charlotte region’s business community.
