Active Young Professionals

Active Young Professionals are vital to the mission of Life Rolls On—Improving the quality of life for young people affected by spinal cord injury through action sports. Help us educate, advocate, and fundraise for spinal cord injury through networking events and social mixers with your friends and colleagues!

What is AYP?

Active Young Professionals (AYP) empowers young business leaders with the opportunity to enhance their professional development while serving their community through fundraising, volunteerism and community outreach activities. The goal is to provide active young professionals with an ever-growing community in which they can network, communicate, grow and socialize.

Why AYP is Important

Currently, there are more than 1 million Americans living with spinal cord injury and every 49 minutes, another spinal cord injury occurs in the United States. As more than half of these injuries occur between the ages of 16 and 30, and the average age of injury is 39.5-years-old, educating young professionals is of critical importance to not only prevent future injuries, but also to serve as a resource and support for those with SCI.

Benefits for Young Professionals

Beyond the inherit values of doing good for others and learning the skills of being a community leader, all active chapter members benefit from the opportunity to network with other active professionals in many varying industries as well as participate in workshops for professional and personal growth. As well, those applying for graduate school will receive community service hours and letters of recommendation from Life Rolls On Foundation.
