Upcoming SRYP Events
Today's Young Professionals. Tomorrow's Future Leaders.
Leaders in the Making | Young Professionals Mentoring Future Professionals
Join Scottsdale Community College, Scottsdale Rising Young Professionals (SRYP), and Scottsdale Unified School District (SUSD) for Leaders in the Making, an inspiring annual event connecting more than 120 high school students with young professionals for a day of mentorship, career exploration, and hands-on learning.
Share your professional journey, offer real-world insights, and help students explore career opportunities in business, finance, law enforcement, hospitality, culinary arts, and more. Through interactive activities and small-group conversations, you'll have the opportunity to answer questions, share experiences, and help students better understand the skills and opportunities that shape successful careers.
The connections don't have to end when the event does! Select students will also have the opportunity to participate in a three-month mentoring project, partnering with an SRYP member in their chosen field to gain practical experience and develop a project they'll present at the Scottsdale Chamber's upcoming State of Education event.
Whether you're passionate about mentorship, workforce development, or simply giving back to your community, Leaders in the Making is your opportunity to make a meaningful difference while connecting with fellow young professionals and supporting the next generation of Scottsdale's leaders.
Come ready to share your story, inspire new possibilities, and help shape the future of our community.
The leaders of tomorrow are learning from the professionals of today. Be part of their story.

Networking After Hours | Where Scottsdale's next generation of leaders connects.
Join Blue Zones Project Scottsdale, Schmooze, and Scottsdale Rising Young Professionals for a flavorful Networking After Hours experience designed to bring together good food, practical wellness ideas, and meaningful professional connections.
Chef Tony, owner of Schmooze and Scottsdale’s own “King Schmoozer,” will lead two live cooking demonstrations featuring approachable, Blue Zones-inspired techniques that show how fresh ingredients and simple choices can create meals that are both healthy and delicious. Attendees will enjoy samples, take-home recipes, a Q&A with Chef Tony, additional food, and an open bar.
Between demonstrations, connect with young professionals from across the Valley in Schmooze’s private garden setting. Whether you are looking to expand your network, exchange ideas, or simply meet new people in a relaxed environment, this event offers plenty of opportunities to mix, mingle, and build relationships. Come curious, come hungry, and leave with new flavors, new ideas, and new connections.
Great connections and healthy habits both start with the right ingredients.
