VYP Social Group

Who says it's hard to meet people in Vancouver??

VYP Social Group (Vancouver Young Professionals) was founded in the Fall of 2006 when a group of busy young professionals recognized that it would be helpful to find a venue to meet new people in a casual setting while getting out there and seeing what the city has to offer.

The goal of the group is to connect with others that have similar interests and get introduced to new circles of friends and networks. Most members in this group are in the 24 - 36 range.

Some of our past events have included:

* Bi-weekly Friday night wrap-up outings
* Sports teams: Beach Volleyball, Indoor Ball Hockey, Soccer, Volleyball and Dodgeball!
* Snowshoeing/Snowboar ding days at local mountains
* VYP Group Volunteering Days
* Kayaking outings in Deep Cove
* VYP Camping Weekend
* Comedy Nights
* Live Theatre Nights and the list goes on!

We have held over 85 events and 21 sports teams since our inception in the Fall of 2006 and have over 800 members! Our Meetup.com site is our newest addition.
