WHO ARE WE

Helena Young Professionals

We are shaping the future of Helena by empowering young professionals to connect with the community, develop personally and professionally, and build life-long relationships.

Explore Helena with HYP

We get out. A lot. And you should too.

Helena is a outdoor haven. We may be biased, but really, what is not to love? We have access to buses that take us right to the trail, a ski hill on the outskirts of town, and we are nestled right next to 3 incredible lakes, with 2 more a short drive away. If you have no idea where to go, it’s okay, we can help! HYP has outdoor activities all year long. We take hikes in the summer and the winter - and it is always an adventure with our group.

If you are looking for friends to float the river with or snowshoe the pass with, chances are we will have an event for you. We also dabble in indoor activities like rock climbing and yoga.

HYP Events

The Helena Young Professionals host multiple events each month highlighting our commitment to serve, connect, hustle, and explore. Our organization provides opportunities for you to meet and greet with peers on the trails or during professional development workshops.  

Here’s What’s Happening THIS MONTH.

Connect with Young Professionals

We are all about new connections. The Helena Young Professionals offer monthly events to engage with peers, network, or just grab a beer at one of our local breweries.

If you are looking for a bite to eat or an after work drink, you will enjoy our monthly networking lunch and happy hour. There is no structure or expectation, just new friends getting together.

One of our most anticipated events is our annual Palentine’s Day, which takes place in February. The event pushes our members to meet and greet with new faces in a speed networking-styled atmosphere.

Get Involved!

At the end of the day, we are all Montanans and we like taking care of our own. The Helena Young Professionals have always been engaged in our local community, striving to support local causes by donating our time.

You may often see us cleaning up highways, volunteering in the community garden, or donating to our local food shares. As an organization, investing our time into these local causes is crucial to our culture. Join us in our mission to give back to the Helena community.

Local Non-Profits

Helena has the highest density of non-profits in the state. If you are looking to support your community, volunteers are always needed.
