Washington Policy Center Young Professionals

WPC Young Professionals come from a wide variety of backgrounds, professions, and places. This free market approach is what we're all about.

All of us believe in advocating for sound public policy in our state that supports the dignity of the individual. We educate, engage, and empower the next generation of free-market leaders in Washington state! The YP program at Washington Policy Center is a community of diverse 18-39 year olds in Washington state who love sound public policy. We believe the best way to support the dignity of every

individual in Washington state and beyond is by empowering them through skills, community involvement, and an atmosphere of robust market innovation that unleashes the creativity and potential of each person. That's why we're passionate about policies that enrich lives by giving everyday people opportunities to innovate what needs to be fixed. We believe in removing barriers that limit freedom, innovation, and decision-making. We value individual creativity because we know that it's people, not government, who make the world a better place. We embrace civil discussion, opportunities to educate our members, and a Policy + Action mindset where we walk it like we talk it, actively seeking ways to make Washington state a better place to live, work, and raise a family! Young Professionals receive all of our publications and invitations to all of our conferences and events. This is an excellent opportunity to interact with key national and local policymakers and business leaders, as well as network with other young professionals in our region.
