About AYPA:
Afghanistan Young Professionals Association (AYPA) is formed in early 2011 by a group of young professionals living and/or working in Kabul, Afghanistan who wants to network with other young professionals in the Afghan community. One of the goals of the group is to help recruit and retain a young, vibrant professional community in Kabul & the surrounding area. The corruption, less job
opportunities, high cost of living and generally limited opportunities for professionals in Afghanistan has contributed to what is often referred to as "brain drain" where educated young professionals discouraged. A second focus of AYPA is to enhance the quality of life for the area young professionals by providing networking opportunities, volunteer opportunities, and educational opportunities. These professionals wanted to contribute to and be a part of the community. Thus, from these objectives, a mission statement will be derived. Goal of AYPA
Business Development — To promote personal and professional development of AYPA members and to provide educational opportunities for growth. Community Awareness and Involvement — To be a part of–and to give back to–the community in which we live and work. Networking — To nurture a young professional community by providing opportunities to develop professional relationships.
