Kansas City Young Government Leaders

Young Government Leaders of Greater Kansas City is a new YGL chapter dedicated to educating, inspiring, and developing the current and future government leaders in the Greater Kansas City metro area.

Our mission is to connect government employees across our city with new opportunities to expand their professional development while networking and serving our community.

Our purpose is to help aspiring government leaders interact and provide a community of leadership through professional development activities, networking opportunities, social events, and community service.

Our membership includes local, state, and Federal employees; college students hoping to enter public service upon graduation; public servants at all levels of government; and people of all ages. Young is not an age, but a mindset and we are comprised of people of all ages and backgrounds. The breadth of our membership provides exciting network opportunities and is a valuable asset to our chapter.

YGL is the premiere professional organization for young government employees, no matter where you’re located.

Our members come to YGL events for the opportunity to build lasting relationships with other aspiring government leaders and to brainstorm about potential solutions to the significant challenges the government faces now and in the next century. YGL encourages members to get involved, make a difference, and develop their leadership potential. Concurrently, members are guaranteed to have fun, develop long lasting friendships, and make a real difference in the business of government.
