The Road to Success is Yours to Choose

How Young BPW evolves will continue to be guided by the voices and choices of the members themselves.

Young BPW is a category within NFBPWC for members ages 18-35, including students, entrepreneurs, and professionals across a wide range of fields. 

It is not a preparatory program or a waiting room for future leadership. Young BPW members are fully participating members of the Federation, bringing lived experience, professional insight, and perspective that reflect today’s world of work and service.

The purpose of Young BPW is to support connection, visibility, and opportunity for members navigating early and mid-career growth, advanced education, entrepreneurship, and leadership development.

It is intended to be shaped by the members it serves, in ways that are relevant, flexible, and responsive to their lives and priorities.

Participation in Young BPW can take many forms. Some members engage through conversation and networking, others through committee work or leadership roles at the local, national, and international levels.

There is no single path and no required level of iinvolvement.

As we move into the new year, our focus remains on ensuring that Young BPW members are informed, welcomed, and supported within NFBPWC, with access to the same opportunities for leadership, growth, and service as any other members.

Call to Action:

If you’re a Young BPW member, start where you are. When you’re ready, share what matters most to you and how NFBPWC can best support your path by emailing youngbpw@nfbpwc.org or president@nfbpwc.org
