Started in 2009, the Paragould Young Professionals (PYP) group was formed to target Paragould's young talent. Business leaders were interested in organizing a group to attract & retain young professionals in the Paragould community. PYP focuses on young adults ages 21-39 that either live or work in Paragould and have a desire to become involved in the community, network with other young professionals, and become leaders of Paragould.   

PYP is a professional organization dedicated to enriching the development of our young workforce. Through professional development seminars, volunteer activities, and after-hours events, this group is devoted to strengthening their leadership skills. Yearly dues are $50 for Chamber members.
