2025 YP Leads – Ignite Your Future at MAXX. Applications Now Open! 

Eager to fuel the Credit Union Movement? Want to expand your credit union network? Interested in becoming an inspiration to your fellow peers?

Look no further and apply for the 2025 YP Leads Program! 18 YP Leads will receive complimentary registration to this year’s MAXX, taking place Oct. 13-16 in Portland, Oregon. Travel and lodging costs will be the responsibility of the YP Leads’ credit unions.

YP Leads is more than an opportunity; it’s a transformative learning experience for selected young professionals. Elevate your skills, connect with industry leaders, and shape your future by applying for this career-changing experience!

In addition to attending MAXX 2025, YP Leads will benefit from a yearlong mentorship with a YP Lead Mentor. Through a process that is collaboratively designed by the mentor and mentee during MAXX, a plan and goals for the year will be developed to help the YP Lead in their role in advancing the Movement.

 

What’s the commitment?

  • Attend a pre-MAXX meeting and a post-MAXX debrief session
  • Actively participate during the 3-day MAXX Experience
  • Attend monthly or quarterly virtual check-ins with your mentor
  • Contribute to at least one GoWest advocacy initiative throughout the year
  • Bring back what you’ve learned to your credit union and local community


Apply by Friday, June 20!

Applications will be reviewed by a panel of past YP Leads and Mentors who are passionate about developing future credit union leaders. The 2025 YP Leads Cohort will be selected and announced in July.
