Who We Are
The Young Professionals Network is a passionate group of 40 and under doers and changemakers working collectively to support the mission of Play Like a Girl. Members utilize their unique abilities and passions to create lasting change in the areas of sport and STEM education – the building blocks of opportunity – among middle school girls in Nashville, while developing personally and professionally along the way. Young Professionals are exposed to a variety of impactful, meaningful opportunities that allow them to see our mission first-hand and be the change for the next generation.
