This year, our goal is to raise $5,000 — enough to send two young professionals through Journey. Every raffle ticket purchased at the 35 Under 35 Awards directly supports this scholarship fund.
GYP’s Journey Leadership Institute is a 9-month experience that has been truly transformational for many young professionals. Through hands-on workshops, deep connections, and personal reflection, participants gain not only confidence and leadership skills but also lifelong relationships that strengthen both their careers and their communities.
But not every young professional has the financial means to participate. Many work in nonprofits, are self-employed, or don’t have employers who can sponsor their professional development. The Journey Elevation Scholarship exists to remove those barriers and open the door for motivated leaders who are ready to grow.
Employers who invest in Journey see the difference, too:
I send my employees through Journey because of my personal experience and what I got out of it.
The Journey program continues to grow and evolve. My team members have grown from this experience professionally and personally.
And participants themselves describe the impact:
Journey helped me gain self-confidence, be vulnerable, and meet new people.
I really value the relationships I’ve built with my team and stakeholders.
