DYP provides opportunities for members to GROW personally and professionally, CONNECT with each other and GIVE BACK to the community. We are dedicated to making metro Detroit a better place and developing our region’s next generation of leaders.

Founded in November 2007, DYP began as a grassroots collective of diverse, forward-thinking individuals with a passion for cultivating creativity, entrepreneurship and a spirit of community in metropolitan Detroit. Since then, we’ve evolved into an independent nonprofit organization with one of the largest networks of young leaders, innovators and changemakers in Southeast Michigan.
