About us
Established in 2009, we are a dynamic group of professionals that view State College as a great place to call home. It's no secret that State College is a transient town. We understand it can be difficult to socialize and feel close to the community. SCYP creates a welcoming environment for all young professionals. We may be a group young professionals, but at heart this is a organization to socialize. Our members are typically between the ages of 22 and 45, but we do not have an age requirement. If you are young at heart and have a passion for our area, you're welcome...no encouraged...to join!
Membership dues can be purchased at https://scyoungpros.com/membership/. Not sure if you're ready to commit? That's okay! Check out an event or two.
We have three main values at SCYP.
Live
No matter what brings you to the State College area, we are one community. At SCYP, we believe in being active and involved in making our community a better place. We volunteer and fundraise with a passion and energy for everyone living in Happy Valley.
Work
Everyoneโs favorite subject! Chances are you might have moved to State College for a new job or potentially graduate school (thatโs work, right?) We get it. We work here, too! SCYP provides a year-round forum for young professionals to connect, collaborate, and learn from each other. No matter your profession, together we build a foundation upon which State College can build its future.
Play
Life canโt be all work โ We have some fun along! State College has an abundance of opportunities to kick back, relax, and have fun. Whether you are settling down or passing through, we may be colleagues and neighbors, but most of all, we are friends.Whether itโs on the softball field, at a happy hour, or volunteering, SCYP offers events to meet new people and make new friends.

Trivia @ Voodoo Brewing
Voodoo Brewing Company - State College Pub, 201 Elmwood St, State College, PA 16801, USA, State College, PA, USJoin the State College Young Professionals for a fun night of trivia at Voodoo Brewing Company on Tuesday, October 27th! Check-in begins at 5:30 PM, and we'll grab seats together before trivia gets underway at 6:00PM.
Trivia is hosted by Voodoo Brewing Company, but SCYP board members will arrive early to reserve seating. There will not be a check-in table, but we'll post our location in the event discussion so you can easily find the group.
Voodoo is a venue with outdoor seating that we may end up needing to use, so dress warmly in case. We'll be trying to reserve some of their indoor tables, but in the past have needed to be more spread out as it is a popular bar and trivia night.
We especially encourage new and prospective members to join us for this casual, small-group event!***Due to reserved seating limitations, this event is capped at 12 participants (first come, first served).
Please fill out this Google Form to reserve your spot: https://forms.gle/gyy2V91bhWQfRn299Whether you're a trivia pro or just along for the laughs, all knowledge levels are welcome. Come enjoy an evening of great conversation, food, drinks, and friendly competition!
Please note: Personal food and drinks are the responsibility of each attendee and will not be covered by SCYP. However, as we did win a gift card last time we did Trivia at Voodoo, there will be a table appetizer ordered, first come first serve.
