The Young Environmental Professionals (YEP) of Canada is a national organization of local chapters dedicated to creating opportunities for young and emerging environmental and sustainability professionals.

YEP was founded in 1997 in Toronto and has expanded to include chapters in the National Capital Region (Ottawa-Gatineau), Calgary, Vancouver, and Edmonton.

In just twelve years, YEP has grown to include over 700 members and involve over 2,000 people in its knowledge network. YEP hosts over 50 events per year across Canada for young professionals and emerging leaders.  YEP delivers events such as the Forum for Emerging Environmental Leaders (in Toronto and Vancouver), monthly speaker and networking events, professional development workshops, conferences, and mentoring programs. 

Join YEP - as a member, mentor, volunteer, or sponsor - to become part of a new generation of young leaders who are developing their environmental careers and contributing to sustainable communities.
