About Prescott Area Young Professionals
Prescott Area Young Professionals (PAYP) is a quality group of 21-40 year old young professionals working together to showcase the Prescott area as a place for opportunity, growth, and success. PAYP is supported by the Prescott, Prescott Valley, and Chino Valley Chambers of Commerce.
PAYP provides unique social networking, personal and professional development, and service opportunities throughout the quad-cities. From networking with city leaders, learning from experts, and hosting Party in the Pines – Prescott’s biggest charity beer festival, PAYP provides opportunities to impact the community and make a difference where we live and work.
PAYP strives to build relationships, give back, and work hand-in-hand with professionals to help make Prescott and the surrounding communities a better place to work, play, and live.

Members of PAYP have the opportunity to get involved, learn how to make a difference in the community, and become the next generation of Prescott leaders.
Although I've been here for almost 8 years, it wasn't until joining PAYP that I realized just how many like-minded young professionals there were in the area. There I found business connections and made friends that enjoy having fun as much as they enjoy working hard. I highly recommend this group to anyone of any career where they consider themselves a professional.
Joining the Prescott Area Young Professionals has been one of the most impactful decisions I've made since moving to Prescott in 2023. As someone who arrived without knowing a single person, I quickly found not just a network—but a family. Through PAYP, I’ve become connected to the local community, given back through meaningful volunteer work, and grown both personally and professionally. It’s been an incredible journey of building relationships, making a difference, and finding my place in Prescott.
Joining the Prescott Area Young Professionals (PAYP) has been one of the best decisions I’ve made since moving to the area. It gave me an amazing opportunity to meet other young professionals around my age who are just as passionate about growing their careers and making a difference in the community.
Through PAYP, I’ve been able to build a strong network of peers and mentors, many of whom have become great friends and professional collaborators. The mixers and educational events are not only fun and engaging, but they also provide real value. Whether it's learning from a local business leader, gaining insight into community development, or simply connecting with like-minded individuals, every event offers something new and worthwhile.
One of the aspects I really appreciate is how PAYP creates opportunities to support local charities and give back to the community. It’s a unique blend of professional development, social connection, and community impact, all in one group. I’ve even been able to connect other professionals and business owners through PAYP, strengthening not just my own network but the broader Prescott business community.
If you're a young professional in the area looking to grow personally and professionally while having a great time doing it, I can’t recommend PAYP enough!
